Wine Friday: Oberon, Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

May 27th, 2011

Why do wine reviews only get to come on Wednesday??  Here's a toast to Friday!  We made it through the week!  Any big holiday weekend plans?  Lot's of bbq's and parties?? This bottle may be a good thing to include : )  

We were given this bottle as a gift by the lovely and talented Mr. Tim Dowling (screenwriter extraordinaire).  Tim always has pretty good taste in wine so I knew this would probably live up and it did.

0wineApparently, this wine was named One of “a dozen American treasures, great wines under $20.” – Eric Asimov - The New York Times  

And wine spectator gave it 86 points.

When it comes to flavor, this cab has a lot going on!  There is a lot of complexity with lots of cherry.  It's not too heavy, like a lot of cabs, but it can hold it's own.  This wine was complex enough for my husband to eat meat with, yet it was light enough for me to eat vegetarian.  (PS this doesn't happen that often)  This wine is a new must on our wine shelf.  Loved it!  

Here you can find the bottle for about $20.00.  Vine Rebublics Website

So no matter what you are doing, enjoy the holiday weekend!!
