James Mitchell Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Lodi, Central Valley, California, United StatesA Lodi mix of 85 cabernet sauvignon mixed with petit verdot, malbec, sangiovese and tannat. The attack is soft and sweet with candied berry fruit scents with hints of prunes and oak. Lifted smoky, black fruits with candied undertones and spice. Simple sweet confectioned style popular in supermarkets. Spicy barbecued ribs might rescue it, otherwise far too sweet for our taste.Tasted: 07 July 2015Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $18.29 | 750ml | BCLS |
