Louis M. Martini Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Our Wine Journeys Weekend Wine this week… Cabernet Sauvignon is just about the perfect BBQ red. It has enough structure to stand up to full flavoured food off the grill and still enough refreshing acidity that your palate enjoys every sip. This wine is smooth and full bodied delivering an abundance of ripe blackberry, cassis, mint, and black cherry fruit wrapped in tobacco, smoke, spice, caramel, coconut, and vanilla. The added benefit is this Sonoma County red is both excellent quality and good value in the increasingly expensive world of California Cabs. A bottle of this recommended weekend wine would be perfect to enjoy with a Father’s Day BBQ.
