Tasting - Intrinsic Cabernet Sauvignon


Name: Intrinsic Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc
Region: Washington
Country: USA
Year: 2016
Price: $20

Winery Review: The 2016 vintage of INTRINSIC has a wonderful floral nose, complemented by aromas of cherry and leather. The flavors are layered with tones of blueberry jam, pomegranate and chocolate. The texture is rustic, yet silky, with a unique savory and inviting finish.

My Review:
Blueberry is the dominant note on the nose which I do not find often. Cherry and some raspberry are also present with a waft of vanilla and licorice. It is very fruity on the palate with more blueberry coming through. Cherry, blackberry and black cherry follow with licorice enveloping all the flavors. It has a long finish with solid tannins. It is silky smooth with some oaky vanilla on the back end. This is a very good wine especially at this price point.
