Winery review: Our Yulupa Cabernet Sauvignon was aged in small oak barrels. The wine is soft and smooth with berry flavors. It makes an ideal match with full-flavored foods such as chicken, pasta, or beef.
My review: This Cabernet ages very well. The first sip I took was like a punch in the mouth. Very strong tannic and alcoholic components; large body and heaviness in the mouth. Heavy raspberry, black cherry, and black currant on the nose. It has a very large aroma presence on the nose; almost better than the flavor profile. Not the best Cabernet I've had, but much better than most.
I had this wine with homemade pizza and garlic bread and it did pair with the wine quite well, in my opinion.
