Winery Review: "What can we say about our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon? It’s sumptuous, lush, and full-bodied with flavors of juicy blackberry and cherry fruit, creamy milk chocolate, and dusty notes all tied together with a toasty oak finish that in a word is...lingering. Educated Guess fills all the requirements that a serious cabernet lover is looking for while remaining fun, approachable, and food-friendly!

My Review: Although this was not my first drink of a Cabernet Sauvignon, it was my first time actually tasting and appreciating it. Before I would shy away from the tannins and boy did this have tannins. It was easily the most tannic wine that I've had in these few weeks, however, I actually like the taste. There was either a blueberry or raspberry flavor that balanced out the tannins. For the body, it seemed slightly light, and it did have a good finish. Maybe it's time I dived into more Cab Savs.
