| Yet another Avila wine I tasted at the 2004 Family
Winemakers of California, Fourteenth Annual Tasting. The
Cabernet like their Syrah does not disappoint. A
value-oriented California wine the 02 Cabernet presents
aromas of dark skinned fruit and spicy licorice along with
creamy vanilla from the toasted oak aging. The ample body
boasts rounded tannins and lightly drying astringency. A
smooth harmonious finish lingers generously. |
