Oh, Cabernet. Ooo la la.
Wine.Woot presents "The More you Vino:" A handy wine glossary.
Wine: A truth serum, dining companion, and occasional headache delivery system.
Cabernet Sauvignon: A French grape known for its full-bodied characteristics, aging potential, and combative temper. Prone to "Sauvignon Rage Syndrome." The best way to prevent this is by talking to your wine - especially in the presence of others, when your wine is more likely to become agitated.
Grape: A berry. Giver of wine. Contributor of the third-best Jolly Rancher flavor.
Arkoudaphobia: Fear of bears.
Mouthfeel: A descriptor for wine's texture on the tongue. Not to be confused with "eyesmell" or "butt-touch."
Palate: Correct. That's how many bottles of this wine you should buy. A pallet.
Aroma: This is the room where you drink wine.
Crepitus: The sound of two bones rubbing against each other. Gross, huh?
Drinking window: Your mouth.
Features
Dense and foresty on the nose with subtle oak and earthy spice our 2008 Kuimelis Cabernet Sauvignon displays rich mountain tannins, cocoa flavors, and tobacco notes. Flavors of smoky caramel complement plum and blackberry fruit but the fruit notes take second chair to the dominant savory layers making this a great alternative to more fruit-driven wines and a delightful end of meal wine. The wine is already showing some intriguing bottle complexity and nuance making it an enticing partner to grilled meats and winter vegetables. For optimal enjoyment drink now through 2014.
