2013 Camp Cabernet Sauvignon


Camp Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon
Sonoma Valley, California
USA
2013
$17.95

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and 3% Malbec, and 2% Cabernet Franc. We sourced fruit from Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, and Sonoma Valley for this years assemblage. Each lot was individually fermented then blended and aged in French barrels ranging from 1-5 years old. A little riper and more fruit forward than the Hobo Cab.

This wine had lots of berry flavor to it, but with a little bit of pepper and cinnamon. I think it needed to breathe longer, because it wasn't as easy to drink as I was hoping. I think I also might be biased because I was absolutely blown away by the Cabernet Sauvignon we'd had the night before at the dinner pairing (blog post coming soon!). I didn't have it with food, but I think it'd go well with pasta with a red sauce.
