Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley(2005)

The 2005Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley blends five subappellations of Cabernet, each with its own unique characteristics, into one wine of exceptional quality. An outstanding value from a world class region. The Napa Valley wine's five regional subappellations of Cabernet Sauvignon offer rich cherry/blackberry flavors, legendary dusty nuances, and mountain fruit intensity. By blending from these different areas, Winemaker Alex Cose created a unique wine with layers of aromas, textures and flavors from California's premiere Cabernet region. This is a California Wine.

For the price you can't beat the taste. Its a mouthful when you first drink it and may be a little heavy at first but the blend of fruit and bitterness finishes off the wine nicely. I enjoyed most of it while I was cooking and had little left over for dinner. I'm definitely buying a few more bottles.

This is a wine that is served at the "Red Lion" pub in Houston, TX. It's a decent red, but I strongly urge you to let it breathe! If you do not, your first glass might taste more bitter than you would prefer. I have a glass of it once a week to sip while I talk with my friends at the pub, and therefore associate it with good conversation. I am a fan, but the cherry seems to make it a little to fruity and mask the subtle oak flavor. This generally leads to me drinking it a little faster, and being annoyed at having finished a glass before the end of the evening.This generally leads to a second glass, and in turn read more...
