Are U a Cab Fan?

As I have mentioned before, although I enjoy all wine, I'm more fond of red wines and Cabernet Sauvignon is my favorite wine of all.  I wanted to share this great, inexpensive Cabernet Sauvignon wine:

J. LOHR Cabernet Sauvignon.  This wine is stored in a French oak Chateau Barrel during production and the vineyard is located in California.  It's bottle age is 11 months, but can be aged for up to 10 to 15 years.  Here is a description from the Winemaker, Steve Peck:
 
      "The 2007 Cabernet is dark colored with red-purple hues.  Aromas of black plum, cherry and fresh fig
       are wrapped in a bouquet of roasted hazelnut, coconut and Italian espresso.  This wine offers large
       palate volume in a very soft package with a supple finish.  This new world wine showcases the best
       of the varietal fruit, with complexity and structure reminiscent of the finest of Bordeaux."


I enjoy this wine and think it is great for a simple, late night glass or paired with a lighter, pasta dish as a food pairing.  It's only about $14 at the Harris Teeter in Suffolk, VA.  If you are a fan of Cabernet Sauvignon, then you have to try this wine!
