Tekiah Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 12.9 % alcohol about $13.50


Let’s start with a quote from the mostomagazine website (Dec. 22, 2008, Translated from the Spanish) “A very deep red color, with violet tints. Tekiah's elegant aromas are balanced and complex. Beautifully expressed flavors of red fruit and black pepper. Kosher for Passover.” And now for my review.

At the first sips this wine displayed light fruit and some oak. The initial meal centered on slow cooked beef and potatoes. When paired with the beef this Cabernet provided some chocolate and plums. It seemed thin but did offer balanced acidity and tannins. The potatoes strengthened the wine. With the side dish of fried red peppers, mushrooms, and onions the wine tasted of chocolate and plums with good length. It continued to gain strength. Perhaps it just needed to breathe.
