Fat Boy – 2015; Mitchell Katz Winery; Livermore, California

This Cabernet Sauvignon proprietor’s blend is quite the treat. Sourced from Livermore Valley AVA, this “young” wine has a surprisingly spicy aromatic nose with the lovely scent of dark cherries. Most will discern raspberry, strawberry, chocolate in the tasting profile and if you wait long enough on that first sip, there is a hint of tobacco on the finish.  Some oak is there as well, but just enough to compliment all the great fruit this wine offers. The acids are exactly right for this full-bodied red wine along with a touch of tartness. Finally, you should appreciate the wonderful tannins and the exceptionally long finish.  Bold and dry, this red cab is certainly a winner.  “Oh, this is really good” will be what you hear being said by those you choose to share this one with. Lovely, lovely red Cab here, so enjoy.  Cheers!
