Tasting - Black Box Cab Sauv

 1) 


2) 


3) Black Box Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chile, Not sure what region, 2020, $5.00

4) Viviano review: "a little sweet, lots of vanilla and black cherry. noticeable oak. Would be good if it were a bit drier and had more depth"

5) From Wine folly: World's most popular wine is a natural cross between cabernet franc and sauvignon blanc that originated in Bordeaux. Wines are concentrated and age worthy. Rich flavor and high tannin content. Flavors include black cherry, black currant, cedar, baking spices, graphite. 3 main countries are France, Chile, and USA. Pages 88-89

6) I drank this without any food. The smell I get from this wine is black cherry/ cranberry but it is not too strong. Very hard to get a read on the smell. Very light mouth feel, however it was super dry and even burned a little after I swallowed. Taste wise it was all black cherry and not much else. Honestly for being the most popular wine grape in the world I was expecting more. I did not enjoy this wine. Overall rating: 4.9/10

 1.  2.  3. Winking Owl, Sauvignon Blanc, United States, California, 2017, $2.99 4. Review from Viviano, This white wine opens nose of citrus and floral. It is dry with light citrus and acidity. flavors of green apple, peach, and citrus 5. From wine folly, A unique tasting white wine with strong herbaceous flavors that are derived from compounds called methoxypyrazines. Flavors include gooseberry, honeydew, grapefruit, white peach, and passion fruit. Made in many different places. pages 165-166 6. I had this wine with no food. The feel in the mouth was very light and dry but not crazy dry. I did not taste a lot of the herbaceous flavors described in the book. I tasted more green apple and citrus flavors. Maybe a little lemon too. I did not enjoy it as much as the other wines I've tasted so far. It said on the bottle to pair this with seafood or light pasta dishes so I will have to try that next time. Overall rating 7.0/10
