Morro Bay 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon

Cherry jolly rancher, chocolate, and oak. This is a really light cab and one I think a lot of people would enjoy.

Strong artificial black cherry taste (I would agree with Cherry Jolly Rancher) with an excessive oak finish (the "Oak Monster" that is typical of California wines these days). I bought this for a song at Whole Foods on the recommendation of a clerk there as a wine they suggest for drinking with barbeque foods. It's not as big and over the top as a lot of Napa Cabs are, but it's got a strong fruit flavor. Note: My first pour had a really ugly finish - very bitter and tanniny, but after putting it down on the counter for a half an hour and coming back to it after it had a chance to breath it really opened up and finished a lot smoother, tasting more balanced overall. So let this one breathe.

I just happened to walk by the display at Whole Foods in Plano, TX and while I rarely drink Cabs, I thought that it was a small price to pay for a 2002 Cab. What a surprise! This is a lighter and lush fruit that you can actually drink from the bottle without needing to wait a few years. I sent my wife back for a few bottles and should buy a case of this wine that can be enjoyed by itself or with the appropriate food.
