Tasting - Mattaponi Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Mattaponi Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Virginia
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Price: $15

Winery Review:
Impressive structure.  Medium bodied, displaying rich and elegant flavors, with a rich finish. Hints of oak and plum. Wonderful with beef, pork or lamb.


My Review:
I didn’t particularly care for this wine. I got hints of red fruit and some spice on the nose. The taste was similar with more red fruit on the palate with a certain spiciness that lasted through the finish. The spiciness didn’t mix well with the fruit that I tasted. I was expecting a big bold Cab Sav and that’s not what I got. It was actually kind of weak.
