Purple Paws Cabernet Sauvignon


Name: Purple Paws
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Year: Non vintage
Country: California
Region: Central Valley, California
Price: $15
Wine Critic Review: "If a Cabernet can be smooth and creamy, this one is. It offers plenty of fruit flavor, smooth tannins that coat the mouth in a good way, plus a plush texture that keeps it from being even a bit harsh. With light body, a soft mouthfeel and lingering finish, there’s much to like." -Vintage Cellar
My review: This wine had a dark purple color with hints of pink.  It had a very interesting smell of berries, more specifically raspberries or blackberries.  It was a fairly full-bodied wine with several strong flavors and it was not too sweet. It had a good finish that made me want to try more.  I ended up purchasing this bottle and tried it with food a couple hours later.  When eaten with grilled chicken and cheesy broccoli, the flavors of the wine were a little weaker, and seemed a little more dry, but I still enjoyed it.
