RAVENSWOOD VINTNERS BLEND CABERNET SAUVIGNON                                               2010 CALIFORNIA $7.99 


Look at that price! An inexpensive wine doesn't mean that it is an inferior wine, just as an expensive wine doesn't guarantee that it is a superior wine. Ravenswood is to be congratulated for producing year after year, in its Vintners Blend series,  very satisfying wines: Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, at very affordable prices. The Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 is packed with aromas and flavors of blackberry, black currant, toasted oak, and vanilla. It is a mouthful, a bold and assertive wine, with a firm backbone of agreeable tannins and acidity. It pairs well with all beef products and hearty mushroom dishes.
