2017 Obsidian Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon

2017 Obsidian Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon

#02-2022

I wrote about this wine about ten months ago, and scored it a 91.  This year for Christmas Dinner, we decided to pair it with our Chateaubriand, and it was so good, that I decided that I needed to up its score.  It was fabulous with our tenderloin feast!

The nose is potent, as it broadcasts the aromas of fresh picked dark berries,  with a touch of blueberry in the breeze.  The wine is rich and complex, and showcases the flavors of blackberry and black cherry, mingled with a little oak and a hint of chocolate.  The finish lingers on the palate, with the message that this one might even be better a few years from now!  The alcohol content is 14.6%, and Norm's score is 92.

This wine is excellent with any beef dish, but not limited to steaks and such.  You might want to team it up with a spicy Bouillabaisse for a real treat!

score: 92
price: $24 - $29
