Tasting - Oak Leaf Cavernet Sauvignon


Name: Oak Leaf
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Country: USA
Price: cheap

Winery Review: This medium-bodied, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon has vibrant notes of blackberry fruit, a hint of toasty oak, and a lingering finish. Pair with Rib Eye Roast.

My Review: This wine followed the two-week old wine, and although it didn't have much competition, boy did it underwhelm. Apparently my friend got this wine from Walmart and he was just looking for the cheapest red he could get. The nose on this wine was pretty much non-existent... it could have been water if I had my eyes closed. On the taste, it was again very light and watery with some light dryness and maybe a hint of blackberry, but otherwise nothing. Honestly, drinking this felt like drinking Natty Light after drinking some nice craft beers. It was interesting to see the difference that price would get you.
