True Myth Cabernet Sauvignon – Real Tasty

By: Jon Thorsen Last Updated: March 23, 2020

A Paso Robles Cab at a Costco price that might just be too good to be true, the True Myth Cabernet Sauvignon.

True Myth Cabernet Sauvignon - Real Tasty

Cabernet Sauvignon from 20+ year-old vines (clones 4, 6, 7, 8 and 337) in Paso Robles, California. The wine is aged for 15-18 months in a combination of 40% new French oak, 20% Hungarian oak, 10% new American oak and 30% neutral oak.

The True Myth Cabernet Sauvignon has an SRP of $24; however, we found it at Costco for $15.99. It has an average price of $19 on wine-searcher. The wine is produced by Niven Family Wine Estates.

From the bottle:

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.

Mother Nature is intriguing and elusive, reigning with grace and beauty. There is no doubt that she is the one True Myth. We respect her for the enigma she is and honor her with this beautifully smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, loaded with blackberry, cherry cola flavors and notes of caramelized oak. Taste and Believe.

14.2% Alcohol

The 2016 True Myth Cabernet Sauvignon begins with pleasing aromas of sweet cherry, raspberry, strawberry, cedar, vanilla and bit of chocolate. Tasting the wine reveals it to be super drinkable with a super smooth texture and similar fruit flavors to the nose but sweet and juicy in the mouth. Plenty of chocolate notes lead into the dry, grippy, long finish that leaves you wanting to take another sip. This is downright tasty.
