2004 Avalon California Cabernet Sauvignon

We had the 2005 Avalon a while back and it was great. If I'm not mistaken the 2005 is $12 and the 2004 is $8 so I grabbed a bottle of the older one.

Oak and blueberry on the nose.

Smooth tannins, a touch of sweetness, cherry, blackberry, a slight bit of oak – nothing deep, but not bad at all.

Some oak notes come through as well as a bit of strawberry.

Outstanding QPR – if my memory serves me right, the 2005 is a step better and more complex, but this is tough to argue with.
