Critique Review: California - Woodbridge Cabernet Sauvignon Red Wine presents aromas and flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, toasted marshmallow, and spice. This medium-bodied California red wine pairs well with grilled meats.
Reference Flavors: Black Cherry, Black Currant Plum, Cedar, Spice
My Review: On the eyes, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a medium red, with medium-light viscosity. On the nose I smell strawberry jam and a hint of plum along with light cedary/spice notes. On the tongue I get a balanced medium bodied flavor with strong cherry jolly rancher flavor (slightly too sweet), and a slight tannic finish. I am pairing this wine with butterfly shrimp and a well seasoned chicken thigh. I think the shrimp and chicken thigh are slightly overpowered, however the spices from the skin of the chicken do help to balance the slight sweetness of this cabernet sauvignon.
