Variety:Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon
Country:USA
Year: 2010
Price: $11.00
Pairing: Tasted without food
Winemakers Notes: "Toasted Head is named for the age-old practice of toasting barrel heads with fire, which is what helps to create the distinct toasty flavor in all our wines. Our medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon showcases flavors of blackberry, cassis with hints of cloves and vanilla, finishing with soft, supple tannins."
Aged 18 months in French/American oak barrels-20% new. (Cabernet Sauvingnon, merlot, petit verdot, and petite sirah grapes)
My Notes: I thought that this wine was very sweet, especially in the aftertaste. It was also quite acidic and I was definitely able to smell/ taste the toasted barrel. I experienced strawberry, vanilla and cinnamon while smelling it and when I tasted it I got a hint of what reminded me of Twizzlers. It was not very spicy though which I enjoyed
