We had a grilled Porterhouse, sauteed mushrooms, loose leaf salad with vinaigrette and goat cheese and Craisins. This cab was the perfect finish.
As quoted "warm, full and fruity in the mouth with soft tannins and gentle acid core that make this very accessible and pleasant. The finish is gentle with cedar tones and cherry." I love the way these wines are described. We paid $13.99 and felt the price was very fitting.
You have to know that since the Trout had his surgery on September 2, he has not been able to drink wine. He was on several antibiotics for 10 days and lost all taste for wine. It was like his taste buds took a vacation and could not tolerate the taste of wine. So finally, this bottle tasted just right!!
I'm very happy to hear that The Trout's taste buds are returning to normal... or that this is an exceptional wine... or both! Red wine and rare meat can't be beaten!! blessings ~ tanna

ReplyDeleteDear Susan,
ReplyDeletemany thanks for your visit and your kind words - I wish you all good -
best greetings - Ruth
I'm so happy that the Trout is able to enjoy wine once again, and very recovered from all the too much excitement you experienced while far from home. I'll look for this one, but not sure it's here in northeast Ohio........
ReplyDeleteGlad to know that Trout is regaining his tastebuds. Dinner sounds fabulous and this wine pairing!!
