2003 Rutherford Hill Cabernet

We opened a bottle of the 2003 Rutherford Hill Cabernet to drink after dinner the other evening. We had purchased a few bottles of this a while back for approximately $25 a bottle. In the glass, the wine was a deep black ruby color. It had medium intense aromas of sweet black cherry, plum and cedar. It had medium+ smooth tannins, acidity and alcohol (13.5% abv) with flavors of mixed berries and cherries and a touch of cocoa with a long finish.
A very good bottle at a reasonable price!

Introducing Oltrepò Pavese - An Italian Sparkling Wine that You Should Know

Last year, I had the opportunity to travel to Italy to taste the wines of Oltrepò Pavese. I discovered that these sparkling wines are based on Pinot Noir, they are made in the traditional method, like Champagne, and most importantly, they are an Italian hidden gem that bubble lovers across the world need to put on their radar. In the August issue of Galveston Monthly magazine, I introduce these wines to my readers.
