Wine: Sebastiani 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon
Review: The past week has been a bounty of wine deliveries: A couple of deliveries from WineBid for auctions I won in May and November of last year and my Virginia WOMC delivery.
The Sebastiani is one of the wines from WineBid. This wine made the Wine Spectator top 100 list for 2005, which is why it sparked my interest. The Sebastiani winery has roots dating back to 1825 when it was first planted by Franciscan Monks, making it one of the oldest wineries in Sonoma.
The wine was very dark with aromas of blackberry and vanilla. It had a flavor that really matched the color and scent, the blackberries especially shone through, along with a taste of oak and a buttery aftertaste, that I assume was attributable to the vanilla. A very nice wine.
Price: $20
Grade: 90
