Tasting - Becker Vineyards Iconoclast Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Becker Vineyards Iconoclast Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: 100%
Region: Texas
Country: USA
Year: 2015
Price: $8

Winery Review: Becker Vineyards Iconoclast Cabernet Sauvignon. This is the number one selling wine at Becker Vineyards. The cabernet has black cherry notes, raspberries and is a popular, easy drinking wine. Red berry fruit with spice and notes of rich balanced tannins.


My Review:
The nose had an earthy smell to it with mushrooms accompanied by blackberries and slight oakiness. The taste was decidedly Old World filled with black fruit such as blackberries, blackcurrants, and raspberries. It had a slight tannic component. The finish was long and smooth. This was nice entry point into Texas wines and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
