Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon California

"We believe that a good bottle of wine should cost about the same as a one-day ticket to Woodstock in 1969. Only by using grapes from around the state can we deliver on that promise. Coastal vineyards impart the core of intense fruit flavors found in our wines year after year. Blending also provides the layers of flavors that sing more like a band than a solo act." - Winery

Taste - has a deep rich ruby color that is clear and bright. Smell for aromas of concentrated black cherry, toasty oak, caramel and cassis. The small addition of Cabernet Franc and Merlot lends additional plum, cherry tobacco, and blueberry nuances to the wine. Oak aging provides notes of nutmeg and cedar box while giving breadth and depth on the palate. The wine explodes with fruit in the mouth yet is balanced by the oak and has a nice lingering finish.   Nose - currant, blackberry, cherry, cedar, cigar box, violet, rose, truffle, earth, coffee, leather, candy, vanilla, oak, smoke, tar, musk, mushroom, asparagus, green pepper, and red fruit.

Rosemary and garlic lamb chops, Cornbread Dressing with Roasted Fall Vegetables, Roasted spiced sweet popato, French onion and olive tart, Beef vegetable soup.
