Name of Wine: Lapis Luna Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety of Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon
Country of Origin: United States
Region of Origin: California / Lodi
Vintage Year: 2020
Price: $14
Shop/Winery/Critic Review: “Crimson in the glass with aromas of dark chocolate, cherry and a hint of roasted coffee. Rich and full textured on the palate with profound dark fruit. The finish brings succulent tannins and is long reaching, sticking with you until the next sip.” Vintage Cellar (2020)
References of specific flavors/aromas/grape characteristics: According to Wine Folly, a Cabernet Sauvignon should have aromas and flavors of black cherry, black currant, cedar, baking spices, and graphite. I can definitely pick you the black cherry and black currant while tasting and the baking spices and cedar while sniffing. (Pg. 88)
My Review: Tasted without food. The girl at the wine shop said she really liked this brand because it didn't taste like a usual Cabernet Sauvignon. She said this one had more fruity and chocolate flavors which I definitely picked up on while tasting. I would say this wine was not super dry, but had a bit of a dry sensation while sipping, but it also wasn’t too sweet. I have never had another Cabernet Sauvignon to compare this brand to, but considering how much I enjoyed this glass I will definitely be trying one in the future!
