Tasting - Toschi

Name: Toschi Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: California
Country: U.S.A
Year: 2013
Price: $8.95

Winery Review: "Well-balanced flavors of dark berries and plums. Spicy fruit finish."

My Review: On the nose there was blackberry jam, licorice, and dark ground pepper. I was getting these same tones on the palate, with added prunes and dark chocolate as well. I wish I could get another sip of this, because I could not decipher all of the flavors from just these sips- I know there was more to the peppery component. At any rate, there was a leathery surface texture, well-balanced tannins, and a medium-brief finish. I think this would taste great with peppered steak or a black shrimp pasta.
