Sadler's Well Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles) 2022

Lighter cherry hue with aromas on opening of jellied cranberry, the subtlest hint of mint at the rim with savory spice, black cherry with the slightest beginning of *"bricking" at the rim.

Palate--Mouth watering acidity, on a lively structure with a solid dark fruit mid-palate, and a very quick finish.

I paid $14 for this at a local liquor store that I frequent and whereas I tend to stay right around the $10 price point (or less) I splurged (LOL) for this Paso Robles, California AVA.  For the money it is one of the better Cabernets I have had--again, for the money. I am having it with my wife's and my traditional Sunday evening after church pizza so raise a glass!

*Bricking is a term for the change in coloration of wine as it gets older.  At the beginning red wines start to go slightly amber, to brown as they are getting near the end of their longevity. It is a sign that you should drink up any bottles you may have laying around in fairly short order.
