Broken Earth Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

2012 Broken Earth Winery Cabernet Sauvignon, USA, California, Central Coast, Paso Robles - CellarTracker
This Paso Robles Cab is a mature opaque garnet hue with pure aromas of cherry berry danish pastry above the rim with hints of vanilla, rose petals, spicy menthol, cigar ash.

Palate--This is a pure, cherry berry supple, and robust cabernet that is absolutely, shockingly delicious!  This is Paso Robles?  I am blown away. 

The Wine Enthusiast gave this Cab an 86 points out of 100.  I am not sure when they tasted it but this is woefully underscored.  Easily 90 pts. in my book though I don't use a numerical rating.  Not sure how much the reference price is on this not do I remember what I paid for it but I believe it was around $20.

It is definitely at its peak but will drink for another 18 months but this is the TIME to enjoy this treat. I will be pairing it with grilled rib eye and I will be in heaven so raise a glass!

Barrel Heist Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

  Lighter hued cranberry color with aromas of sweet red berries and dried red fruit with a touch of spice.      Palate--Fruit forward, easy to quaff with soft tannins, and a simple pleasant all around red.  Just don't confuse this with a "real" cabernet Sauvignon.  At $7 (Trader Joe's) let's get real... It's better than two buck chuck!

Cigar Box Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (Hand Harvested) Dalle Valley Chile 2010

Bricking hue with aromas of spicy baked blackberry pie, and blueberry, with a touch of menthol and savory spices at the rim. Palate--Sturdy structured Cab with loads of mature dark berry fruit. It has an "OK" finish and it does linger for a good while! This isn't a complex Cab but the fact that it is as delicious as it is at 10 years old is a surprise and a treat! This sold for probably around $10 at its release so it is an outlier that it is still drinking so well.  Definitely at it's ultimate time but will hold for I would guess 2 years anyway. It is a testament of the quality of even inexpensive Chilean Cabernets which are among some of my favorites. It is doubtful that you will find this wine this old but if you do you want to snag it and enjoy.  Raise a glass!

M. Chevallier Brut (Cava)

Straw hue with aromas of gentle vanilla, lime, more vanilla, and citrus. Palate-- Fresh, clean, teensy pin prick bubbles, creamy texture, fresh clean finish that lingers a bit. If you want a great summer bubbly with no animals on the label, tastes like real wine than a manufactured wine beverage, this is a great summer choice. It's a Trader Joe's regular and runs $10.  Raise a glass, sit on your deck or pool side and enjoy!
