Tasting Livingston Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon



• Name: Livingston Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon
• Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
• Region: California
• Country: U.S
• Year: 2009
• Price: $12.99
• Shop/wine critic/winery review: "Deep red in color, our Cabernet Sauvignon is well balanced with hints of humidor, cassis, bright red apple and cherry.
" 
• My review: This huge 3 liter bottle was very cheap so I decided to get it and try it out. The smell of this wine is light, I can get hints of grape and cherry flavors, along with a strong hint of tannins. After smelling and swirling for a couple of minutes, I went ahead and tasted the wine. It has a thin body, not too much flavor at the first few sips, but as I continue to sip the wine, the body got bigger. Flavors of cherry and hints of oak started to come out and it had a easy finish. I can easily taste the tannins but it was not overpowering. Overall, I enjoyed the wine and at 11.5% alcohol content, it was easy to drink. 
• I had this wine with cheese and crackers, it compliments eachother very well.
