Irony Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, Napa Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon
California, USA
$19.95 (25106)
We are not being ironic when we tell you that this may be Napa Valley’s best bargain. Winner of a Silver Medal at the 2009 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, this delightful Cabernet is designed for everyday enjoyment. Look for blackberry and red berry fruits as well as hints of floral and mint characteristics in this charming, wellbalanced red. Serve it alongside homemade beef stew or rare roast beef.

4/2010:92 (Outstanding) A rich ruby in colour, full-bodied, nicely tart, with fine tannins and very dry on the palate. The nose has softened a tad to a infused berry and damp earth. For flavours there’s the brightness of fresh blackberries and some black currants in the background. These develop into a luscious layer leading to a long, dry finish - a bit metallic if too long between sips. A gulper of a red when suitably paired with any grilled savoury beef, saucy pepper steak or bbq’d ribs.
