Wine Folly: Pg. 88 Cabernet Sauvignon- This full-bodied "big red" is the world's most popular wine. It is a mix of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc that originated in Bordeaux. It is high in tannins and lower in acid. Main tasting notes include black cherry, black currant, cedar, baking spices, and graphite.

My Review: This Cab Sauv is made from organic grapes and is vegan and gluten free. I thought that was really interesting and I was expecting it to taste a little bit different than a typical Cab Sauv, but it didn't. During the sniff and swirl, I picked up on black currant and graphite. During the tasting, I picked up on additional notes of blackberry and smoke. Interestingly enough, I did not pick up on chocolate, coffee, or vanilla notes in this wine like the bottle stated. I can't tell if I am a fan of smoke as a tasting note in my Cab Sauvs yet.
