Barlow Cabernet Sauvignon (California) 2003

Producer: 
Barlow
Item name: 
Cabernet Sauvignon
Wine type: 
Red
Reviewer: 
Tom DiNardo

I really liked this Cab. Boasting an inviting deep violet core, this wine offers terrific balance and structure. Aromas of black cherry, berries, cigar box and cocoa dominate. The palate reveals soft tannins and medium body. Dry, fruit forward flavors of blackberry, licorice, cocoa, and pencil shaving are sure to please. Expect a long, powerful finish. This is a terrific wine.
