Tasting- CalNaturale Paso Robles Cabernet


Name: CalNaturale Paso Robles Cabernet
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region:  Paso Robles, California
Country: USA
Year: 2009
Price: $3.95 (on sale)
Wine Critic Review: This wine begins with a very nice aromatic bouquet of mixed berries, vanilla, and a little green olive.  Tasting this dry, medium-bodied wine shows some dull jammy fruit and a good about of oak and tannins.  The dry and dusty finish is very long and features a little burst of spice at the very end.
My Review: This wine had a very sharp and tannic nose.  It was kind of bland on the first taste and I could not pick up on any of the berries or vanilla flavors that the wine critic suggested.  It tasted earthy and musty and I could not pick up many fruit notes.  It was overwhelmingly dusty, dry, and moldy with a little hint of cherry.  It was not an unpleasant wine but there was nothing special about it. I loved the packaging!  I did not eat any food with this wine.
