CASTLE ROCK CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2024, California

The black cherry and vanilla notes really come through on the palate, and that smooth finish makes it dangerously easy to keep sipping. For the price, this delivers way more depth than I expected from a California cab.

Poured a glass last night and was surprised by how smooth the finish is for a wine at this price point. The black cherry and caramel notes come through nicely without being too sweet.

Opened a bottle with dinner last night and the caramel and oak spice really softened the blackberry bite, exactly what I want from a Cab. That smooth finish lingered just long enough to make me pour a second glass.
