Tasting- Gen 5 Cabernet Sauvignon

•Name Gen 5 Sauvignon
•Variety 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
•Region Lodi, California
•Country: USA
•Year 2009
•Price: $11.95

Shop Review: 92 points ('09), Wilfred Wong: "Taking Lodi into a whole new level, the finely-tuned '09 Gen 5 Cabernet shows intricate and complex flavors; ripe for sure, yet classy and refined; long finish."

My Review:  On the nose, I detected dark fruit with hints of tobacco.  I could taste smokey and spicy flavors.  This wine was very smooth with dynamic fruit flavors.  It was aged for 6 months. I did not have this wine with food.
