Fickle Palate

8 June 2008 by Kayla Kinnunen

Rock & Vine Three Ranches 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon

Sweet to taste, not a hint of harshness, very smooth. The bottle was recommended by Quayside Wine Cellar as “A $22 bottle that drinks like a $40.” I don’t know what most $40 bottles taste like, but this stuff goes down easy.

79% Cab Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 5% Cab Franc, 2% Petite Verdot, 1% Malbec

A blend unlike any I’ve every tasted. The bottle was enjoyed Friday night with veggie burritos and tonight with chili and grilled cheese sandwiches.

Verdict: Good!
