My favorite wine of the @snoothmedia sponsored tasting of @murrietaswell vintages was the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon, which was a pre-release preview. I normally do not like California Cabernet at all; I find them generally to be too brusque, masculine, and inelegant. The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon from Murietta's Well was completely the opposite of that. This was an elegant, balanced, well-structured and sophisticated vintage--sort of like a well dressed professor in tweed. Notes of olives and Connecticut shadegrown tobacco wrapper intermingle in this wine with earth, vanilla, cassis, and blackberry. It is, I think, a wine well suited for a New York strip steak and a nice cigar. I was deeply impressed. I'll be sad when it is gone entirely; I still have a glass left. #cabernet #cabernetsauvignon #muriettaswell #livermorevalley #wine #snooth #Redwine #bottlesofinstagram #winesofinstagram #californiawines #holycabernetbatman
