If God forbade drinking, would He have made wine so good? ~ Cardinal Richeleu
Last Saturday in our tasting at BevMo, we had the pleasure of enjoying two stand outs from Paso Robles. Here's what we discovered:
Wild Horse Cabernet Sauvignon, 2005
Well, to begin with, this wine is not 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. It blends 91% Cab with 6% Malbec, 2% Blaufrankisch, and 1% Syrah. It is very fruit forward with blackberry notes and exhibits soft tannins.
Edna Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 2005
This fabulous wine from San Luis Obispo County takes fruit from Paso Robles, Monterey, and Santa Barbara County. It also blends 90% Cab with 6% Merlot, 2% Cab Franc, and 2% Petite Sirah. It boasts rich fruit flavors with silky tannins allowing this wine to be enjoyed right now, no cellaring required.
Remember, wine is best enjoyed with family and friends!
Cheers,
Tony
