Tasted a Cabernet Sauvignon wine produced in Lodi, California. We’ll open a  bottle of Cabernet  later today. A Cabernet Sauvignon should pair well with grilled hamburgers tonight.

The 337 wine was a 2007 with an alcohol level of 14.5 percent. The color was an opaque purple with a rim of purple. There were black fruit nuances and alcohol on the aroma. The taste was of black fruit particularly blackberries. The finish had tannins with heat. It seemed that the wine was not as balanced as it could have been. Suggested pairings for this wine were slow roasted meats or a tender filet.

The name for this wine is for the French vine clone. The grapevines are located in Lodi’s Clay Station Vineyard. According to the 337wine website, “The 337 clone is an early ripening grape with small berry clusters that deliver a bold, but luscious wine with spice and blackberry.”

Enjoy a Cabernet Sauvignon today!
