A pretty nice young Cab, though the weather was too hot and the wine is deficient in acidity. But the flavors of blackberries, cherries, currants and new oak are delicious, and the tannins are smooth and silky.

I went back and forth on this wine, hating it, then liking it. It’s too soft, but dry. It’s candied, but the cherry-berry flavors have a nice edge of spicy cola. The more I sipped it, the better it got. The alcohol is a modest 14.1%.

Soft, semisweet and medicinal, with candied fruit flavors.

For those who like their Cabernets in a drier style. An elegant wine of considerable finesse, with modest alcohol framing berry, currant, cocoa and herb flavors. Grows more attractive and complex as it breathes in the glass.

This Cab is ripe and clean, but heavy and over-worked. It offers jammy raspberry, cherry and blackberry flavors, wrapped into firm but supple tannins, with the inevitable coating of sweet oak.

I taste cherries and dark chocolate/coffee but it is a little dry.

I'm into Santa Cruz Mountain wines these days. Starting with Thomas Fogarty, I like the cool climate Cabs that this appellation produces. Sensorium's Cab isno exception. Affordable, coiffable, with approachable black fruit flavors.

Expectedly jammy, as Paso Robles red blends go. Hints of black pepper, as expected from a Syrah- but pepper notes mostly masked by very extracted black cherry and dried strawberry notes.

Dark red with black cherry on the nose. Full mouth feel, yet soft tannins. Lots of dark berry fruit and also get notes of cacao, tobacco. This tastes like a Paso wine. For me that's a good thing.
