Wine-o: Round Hill Cabernet Sauvignon

Round Hill Cabernet Sauvignon, 2008 Napa, California


In case you couldn't tell, this wine went very well in our house.  With the bf's parents in town we had a lovely dinner of venison tacos and the wine was gone before dessert was a thought.  


The Cabernet paired very well with the game meat and spicy salsa.   It was on the dry side and very smooth.  Dark red, cloudy in color.


I have also gotten a Chardonnay from the Round Hill vineyard that I greatly enjoy.  Very dry with a powerful aroma and a beautiful golden color.


From Snooth.com Gregory Dal Piaz:
"Light aromatics are smoky and slightly caramelly with a hard, chemical edge to them and a bit of struck match. Very light and fluid in the mouth with some rustic tannins and a modest amount of red fruit. Not much to this but it’s well made and perfectly acceptable wine, if a bit tough and not particularly varietal. 82 pts"


Freya's Score: 6 -This score could increase if I were to have a proper tasting with concentration.  That being said I greatly enjoyed it and many requested a second glass, I would purchase again at this price.

Cost: ~$10 Southern Missouri, bought from the Macadoodle's location in Pineville, MO.  This is a great deal if you purchase it with the fantastic Macadoodle's case of wine deal.  10% off all bottles of wine not already on sale!
