    Butternut Cabernet Sauvignon - Easy

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: January 7, 2020 Last Updated: May 30, 2021

    The simple and easy Butternut Cabernet Sauvignon from California.

    Butternut Cabernet Sauvignon - Easy

    Cabernet Sauvignon from California. No info is given by the winery on how the wine is made or the aging it underwent.

    Sample submitted for review. The Butternut Cabernet Sauvignon has an SRP of $15 and is available for as low as $12. The Butternut label is produced by BNA Wine Group.

    From the bottle:

    The old adage says that Cabernet is king. We created Butternut Cabernet to be king in delivering maximum flavor, quality, and value. Aromas of red berry fruit emerge from the glass with flavors of dark chocolate and round tannins lingering on the palate.

    Tony Leonardini, Winemaker

    14.5% Alcohol

    The 2016 Butternut Cabernet Sauvignon begins with a pleasing aroma of black cherry, blackberry, spice and lots of cola. Tasting reveals a smooth wine with lots of ripe, dark berry fruit. It seems to have a lot of oak influence but unfortunately the winery doesn't disclose the oak treatment. And while it's good, it does end up feeling a bit manufactured. Still if you're shopping the mass market selection at your local supermarket it's a pretty good choice for the price, especially for California Cab. The wine ends with lots of oaky spice on the long, dry finish.
