2014 Newman's Own California Cabernet Sauvignon
#nb-44-16
Following last week's comparison of two modest priced Cabs, we just sampled another value priced California Cabernet Sauvignon alongside another thick juicy steak. This one was the 2014 Newman's Own California Cabernet Sauvignon and it was a very good choice for our steak dinner.
The wine is a bright ruby red in color with a fragrant nose highlighting red berries and spice.. The wine is subtle on initial taste, but a few minutes in the glass cause it to open up into a rich and robust Cab featuring black cherry, a little cassis, and an undercurrent of vanilla and spice. The finish is clean and sails on into the night. The alcohol content is 13.5 %, and Norm's score is 89.
A good choice for steak or other grilled meats, this Cab would also pair well with a red-sauced pasta, or a rich and hearty beef or venison stew.
price : $10- $13
score: 89
