Wine Tasting #11

Name: Leese-Fitch
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Napa Valley
Country: California
Year: 2015
Price: $11.99

Wine Critic Review: Deep garnet in color, with aromas of sweetened cranberry, cassis, toasted marshmallow, charred dill and roasted red pepper. The aroma is smoky, complex and inviting. Notes of tart raspberry, spring cherry, and crunchy plum, leading to toffee and fresh roasted Arabic coffee beans, followed by dill, sage and lime zest. The finish is smooth with hints of smoke, cocoa, and unsweetened dried coconut.

My Review: Floral aroma: seems dry to me? Almost oily, slightly bitter, like a blend of oak and oats. A little crisp and not great, but not too terrible.
