What a wonderful day off, wish it could last a week, but alas work calls! Today I tried a nice bottle of 2007 Anceint Peaks Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles. Now normally, I really like the Zins from Paso Robles, and seldom have I tried the Cabs, but this one was very nice.
It was quote fruity, with a nose of blackberry, cherry and black currant, and a taste that reminded me of some of the finer cabs from Napa Valley. The taste was refined, with hints of berry, leather and tobacco, and a long, smooth finish. Overall, a very pleasant wine, particularly given the price at just $14. I had this one tonight with a halibut steak (it's amazing how little halibut resembles fish!), baked potato and some fresh steamed asparagus. Such a wonderful meal, and a wine that I continue to enjoy even after the meal. Overall, I would rate this one a solid 7.5, it's not spectacular, but for the price it's a nice everyday wine. Salut!
