Kacaba 2004 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

DescriptionDescription  Big occasions call for big wines, and that’s where Kacaba’s 2004 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon comes in. Although labeled as a straight Cab Sauv this wine does have a bit of Cabernet Franc in it to round it off (about 15%) – it also has plenty of wood contact, 32 months to be exact, in both French and American barrels. The nose is big, with sour cherry, blackberry and black pepper, there’s also a touch of green pepper on the nose. On the palate the green pepper comes across more forcefully with spices and herbs as well as a blend of black fruits that cross the palate. A good finish with plenty of acidity and a sweet cherry cedar finish which lingers a long time on the tongue. This wine was a Bronze medal winner at the Ontario Wine Awards in 2008. Price: $42.95
