Tasting #14 - Truth and Valor Cabernet Sauvignon

   



Name: Truth and Valor Reserve
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Paso Robles, California
Country: United States of America
Year: 2021
Price: $29.99

Professional Wine Review: The Cabernet Sauvignon presents deep aromas of black cherry and cranberry with hints of tobacco and toasted oak. Smooth, integrated flavors of plum, pomegranate, and cassis reveal hints of black olive with earthy undercurrents. Lifted acidity adds length to a soft, supple finish. [1]

Wine Folly Review: A full body, tannic and dry wine, Cabernet Sauvignon is not a stranger in the world of wine. One of the most consumed varietals, you are able to find passionate flavors of black cherry, black currant, cedar, baking spices, and graphite in the wine. [2]

Personal Wine Review: What an AMAZING wine. Probably one of the best wines I have had during the duration of this course. From an outward view, the wine felt dense and full. It smelled heavy of jam, strawberry, and just DARK fruit. Upon placing this wine in my mouth, I was immersed in the most smooth, dry, and wonderfully balanced wine I have ever had. The flavors lingered so beautifully with its slightly tannic and sugary nature. I can't say much more than just positive things about this wine. Just wow! Again, this was not consumed with anything else because this wine is capable of holding its ground all by itself!
