90 Ninety + Cellars
Lot 116 Red Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
This is the third 90+ offering I've tried, and once again, I'm not disappointed. While there are certainly more exciting cabernet savingons out there, it would be hard to find one in this price range. The nose is berries and oak with light floral notes. Medium body with a nice balance of dryness and sweetness. It taste like a $30 cab but only costs $14. As with all the 90+ wines, each lot is likely dramatically different. This was the 2013, lot 116. — 10 years ago
