Winery Review: "The 2020 Matchbook Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from grapes grown on the red gravel soils in the winery's Dunnigan Hills vineyard. The wine opens with classic Cabernet aromas of chocolate, tobacco, violets and leather. Plush flavors of blackberry, black cherry and mocha are backed with sweet oak and vanilla. The juicy texture is mouth filling and mingles with the fine, dusty tannins in the finish". (Wine Critic published 2020)
Wine Folly: "The world's most popular wine is a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc that originated in Bordeaux. Wines are concentrated and age-worthy. The rich flavor and high tannin content in Cabernet Sauvignon make it a perfect partner to rich grilled meats, peppery sauces and dishes with high flavor". (pg. 189 E-book)
My review: This deep red wine gave off a huge blackberry and plum flavor. I would also describe this leathery wine as "earthy". It did have a smooth finish and a nice texture. I did not pair this with food but I know it would have tasted better with a red meat dinner. This was probably the biggest red wine I have tasted so far. Rate: 8/10. P.S. I was with my aunt for spring break and tasted the wines but forgot to snap a picture, as you can see my aunt in the reflection of the wines had to send me a picture of the ones we tasted at her house.
