Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon (2005)
| Winery: | Avalon Wines |
| Region: | USA » California |
| Varietal: | Cabernet Sauvignon |
| Type: | Table Wines |
This bottle has a perfect and distinct identity. Very easy to drink, great nose, great value in fruit quality, hint of smoky chocolate finish. It isn't trying to be a huge cabernet, it is balanced and flavorful, great bargain! Great wine for parties...

Seeing some of the wines rated by Snooth certainly excites the palate but mostly to no avail because these wines are not available locally. Washington State (where I live) will have a proposition on the upcoming ballots that will put beer, wine and hard stuff where it belongs, on the free retail market. Currently we have government stores for ... Read More

Conducted a blind tasting last night with Avalon California 2007 against three similarly-priced 2007 Cabernet Sauvignons, also from California. This bottle was the hands-down winner capturing four of seven first-place votes. Irony and Liberty School finished a close 2nd and 3rd, with Dominican Oaks a distant fourth. Avalon has a gorgeous finish ... Read More

June 2010
Being a fan of Pinot Noir from Burgundy, Cabernet and Merlot from the left and right banks of Bordeaux and Rhone varietals from, you guessed it, the Rhone valley, I've had trouble finding wines that I really like from California. Sure there have been a number of very good, and occasionally great, bottles, but my experience has been about a 20% a... Read More
