External Reviews for Schug Cabernet Sauvignon
Very ripe, with mouth filling blackberry, currant, cassis and smoky oak flavors that finish dry and spicy. There's an edge to the tannins that suggests limited ageability.
A very nice Cabernet that's superdrinkable because of its soft, appealing fruit, but also has plenty of complexity. Cherries, blackberries, blueberries and dark chocolate are enriched with spicy oak notes, leading to a long, balanced finish.
Schug is one of the wineries that sticks in my mind for greatly improving the quality of their Bordeaux reds in recent years. This Cab, with a little Merlot and Cab Franc, is a great value in its price range. It's dry and balanced, with rich, ripe black currant, chocolate and earthy flavors, and will easily stand up to fancy fare at the table.
