Hello Wine Lovers!
Today is Father's Day! I would like to extend a Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there! This is your day... steaks on the grill, a round of golf, your favorite fishing hole, a day at the track and maybe even a nice cigar on the patio while sipping a glass of Cabernet. Now that's what I call a good day! In honor of Father's Day I am writing about, you guessed it, two Cabernets from California. Grayson Cellars from Napa and Bridlewood from Paso Robles, both fine examples of this grape and at bargain prices! You will find both at your ever popular Binny's for under $9.
This Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon displays classic Cabernet dark fruit flavors of blackberry and chocolate with a touch of Pomegranates and oak with good balance and structure. This wine is a blend of 78% Cabernet, 20% Merlot and a touch of Zinfandel.Bridlewood winery is located in the Santa Ynez Valley and is included in the Central Coast AVA that stretches approximately 250 miles along California's coast from San Francisco to Santa Barbara. The movie “Sideways”, put the Santa Ynez Valley on the map and became known for Pinot Noir and as a much needed travel alternative to the ever popular Napa Valley.
Grayson Cellars has a unique way of doing business. They buy grapes from all over the Napa Valley and take them to their facility and make high quality wine at bargain prices... wow what a concept! The 2009 Grayson Cabernet Sauvignon shows a dark color with deep, rich aromas of ripe, dark cherries, blackberries and hints of black pepper with just enough oak to know it is there. It is a full bodied wine which will blow you away with it's value. You would bet your first born that this wine was double the price. According to their website here is there philosophy: "The founders of Grayson believe that we can put to work our Napa Valley winemaking skills to create some of the highest quality wines at the by-the-glass price point. We believe that decades of Napa winemaking experience will allow us to create a better bottle of wine at a better price point than what’s generally in the market today". I for one am a believer!
Cheers!
