Abarbanel Aude Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Abarbanel Year: 2003 Type: Red Country: France Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Note: Alcohol: 13% Mevushal: Yes Date Reviewed: 10/12/06
Color: 2.5 (of 3) Note: A bright ruby red color.
Aroma: 6 (of 7) Note: Fruity aroma's of cherries and blackberries along with plums and slight scents of wood and licorice.
Taste: 7 (of 10) Note: It's semi-dry with mild tannins and soft flavors of blackberry, plum and cherry along with wood and tea. But there's a slight medicine taste that costs it some points. I had high hopes for this wine after the color and aroma categories but you can never really tell which ones can follow it up with a great taste. This abarbanel Cabernet Sauvignon didn't hold up in the end.
Total: 15.5 (of 20)
Food: I had spaghetti with meatballs and I was really hoping for a better wine tonight. I've had some bad wines this month and I need one of these wines to step up and turn this streak around....
