In celebration of Elvis Presley's birthday, I present you with The King's Cabernet. Of course, Elvis didn't drink so it's an odd product to make, but who am I to judge? This was $12 at the local wine shop.Cherry, oak, and chocolate on the nose.
Simple and fruity - all cherry - and with mild tannins. A tad sweet, but there's some oak and acid to balance it out a bit.
The finish is sweet, once again mostly cherry, but there's I'm getting some herbal notes as well.
It's $12 and I'm betting the Elvis estate gets half that. It's not bad, but for the price you can get two bottles of a cheap big name Australian Cab.
Nice blog--I just stumbled across it and have added it to my google reader. I'm excited to read your comments going forward.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I like how the Elvis Bottle was "signed" by The King. I didn't realize that he'd become a winemaker after his death
