Rubus Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Rubus Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Napa, California
Country: United States
Year: 2012
Price: $23.95

Winery Review: Its long finish displays full mature flavors of blackberry, currant, and chocolate with just a hint of toasty oak and black cherry. The tannins are refined and polished, allowing the fruit to be the focus.

My Review: I tried this with friends at the Vintage Cellar. The guy serving us wine explained to us that the label isn't a real winery, and that wines are made and have lots of left over, and are shipped out to be tasted by others, and if ordered they put this label on it. So it's not a real winery, and it's just sold under this label. In the wine we could identify blackberry currants and chocolate. One friend thought it tasted like rice. There was a spicy end note. I did not try this with food.
