Sledgehammer Cabernet Sauvignon

Sledgehammer
Cabernet Sauvignon
2012
Northern California
10 US Dollars

Never mind the French-sounding name, this Cabernet Sauvignon is All-American.  Grown in Northern California, the Sledgehammer Cab offers a smooth, rich flavor that pairs well with prime steaks, not baguettes and pate.

My opinion: I absolutely loved this wine.  I love that I could taste a lot of blackberry coming through as well as smell the blackberry when I sniffed.  It was fruity, not to heavy, but had a small bite like I like.

I paired this wine with a salad, I feel like it would have gone much better with chicken or steak.
