$15, 4 stars, 89 points, Aldi, cabernet sauvignon, california, Napa
Deep ruby colored with medium viscosity (13.5% ABV). Aromas of candied plum, black raspberry, violets, licorice and nutmeg. The palate is dry (?) with medium acidity and medium tannins. I’m not sure if there is any residual sugar here, perhaps a trace. The candied aroma I got on the nose is showing off as really ripe black currants on the palate. I still get the black raspberry and licorice as well. The body is medium in weight and the wine finishes with a short ending. I like the mouthfeel of this $15 Aldi wine, it’s not overly grippy or tart, easy to drink and generally very agreeable. I would pair this Napa Cab with grilled burgers, perhaps pizza or even lamb shanks. It gets 89 points from me and 4 stars. Drink till 2027. Salut….
