    Katherine Goldschmidt Crazy Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 - Insanely Good

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: April 30, 2014 Last Updated: March 6, 2021

    This is one delicious Cabernet.

    100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley, Sonoma, California.

    SRP of $25 and available for as low as $19.99.

    From the bottle:

    "Winemaker Nick Goldschmidt says 'Katherine thinks outside the box. She is one to always challenge the status quo and go off in her own direction. Working on this wine together we now have a greater understanding of our, and the wine's, diversities and complexities. I think it's truly one of the best for Alexander Valley Cabernet and shows this 20 year old single vineyard in a new light...like Katherine's innovative character.'

    14.5% Alcohol"

    The 2011 Katherine Goldschmidt Crazy Creek Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignonbegins with a very nice aroma full of blackberry, raspberry, spice, vanilla, chocolate, caramel and a little smoke. Tasting reveals loads of rich, fantastic fruit (mainly blackberry and plum) with excellent chocolate and vanilla notes. Add to that tons of spicy, smoky, oaky notes and you have one delicious Cabernet. I couldn't help but think this would be fabulous with a steak or even a cheeseburger. It finishes long with all of those same flavors found when tasting lingering nicely.
