Ravenswood Vintners Blend Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Trust your Taste

Sweet plum, redcurrant, black cherry and cassis give this Californian Cabernet a juicy fruit core. A little liquorice and subtle oak add interest, with soft tannins on a balanced finish. Try it if you enjoy Cabernet with gentle edges.

?

Medium weight, soft tannins and juicy ripe fruit favour Soft palates. PalateKey groups wines by how they feel, helping you find styles you enjoy. Your own taste comes first.

This suits you if you enjoy juicy Cabernet with soft tannins and dark-fruit flavour.

It may not suit you if you prefer very firm, lean Cabernet with restrained fruit.

How this wine feels

This feels medium in weight, juicy and softly rounded. Gentle tannins give light shape, while dark fruit leads the finish. It should suit someone who wants familiar Cabernet flavour without a strongly drying grip.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
