Fetzer 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon

I owe this  wonderful posting and review to my mom who took on the burden of trying some new wine ;)  for us all. She was tasked with finding something new for under 10 dollars and she came across this great wine that not only tastes good the winery is also very environmentally conscious. Their vineyards produce wine using 100% renewable energy sources!  Its nice to see that their are vineyards out there that are doing their part to make good wine and also a better planet.   Here is her review!

Appearance: Deep red-purple in color.

Smell: Aromas of blackberry, cherry,vanilla, and oak 

Taste: This wine has a surprising amount of layers to it, upfront you get the obvious oak flavor but as it unfolds you get the hints of fruit, blackberry, cherry, and hints of mocha.

Feel:  Medium bodied wine with medium to firm tannin's.

Overall:  Loved this wine and for the price of 6 bucks you can't go wrong.  Probably one of the best wines I have had for under 10 dollars.  I would highly recommend this wine for any night you feel like hanging home, relaxing, and enjoying a glass of wine.  

Grade: A
