Winemaker’s Notes:
Barrel ageing in French Oak for 18 months has softened this Cabernet’s tannins to form a complex and enjoyable wine a clean, dry finish. Expect aromas of cherry, black raspberry and currant.
Serve with peppercorn steak or rich decadent chocolate.

Sprucewood Shore’s Cabernet Sauvignon caught me off guard. It is different from other local Cabernet Sauvignon wines in the lake erie North Shore region that I have tasted. Being different is a can be a good thing.
For a wine that has been sitting in a barrel for 18 months I was expecting a bigger, bolder taste. It had some oak taste but not a lot, tannins and acidity were mild to medium at most. Again, not a bad thing.
Nose and taste of dirt earth along with some hints of tobacco and fresh green peppers. Taste has a lot of black berry notes in it followed by a smooth mouthfeel. Like I said, it is missing a lot of the tannins I was expecting.
This is a softer red wine. Very nice drinking wine that taste a lot like a merlot to me.
Priced around $17 makes it a good value for just about any occasion. Serve with any beef meal for a great pairing.
