Sample submitted for review. The wine has an SRP of $18 but is available for as low as $10.

From the bottle:

Our Cabernet Sauvignon is an exceptional varietal expression with rich concentrated flavors of ripe black cherry, blueberry and deep red plum. The structured palate is balanced by aging in French and American oak barrels, imparting notes of baking spices and vanilla bean in its long, silky finish.

The 2018 Carmel Road Cabernet Sauvignon opens with an attractive aroma loaded with vanilla, dark berry fruit and coffee.

Taking a sip reveals a very smooth and tasty medium-bodied Cab with lots of oak influence. Featuring similar flavors to the nose plus a little caramel and other sweet oak notes, this is a crowd pleasing wine that should make a good, highly affordable burger wine.

It ends dry, long and grippy with a mouth puckering finish full of lasting vanilla notes.
