Toasted Head – Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
Despite getting quite a few wonderful suggestions for new wines to try, tonight out of laziness I went with an oldie but a goodie. I love the Toasted Head Cab, in fact I am a little sad that I won’t have one in the wine fridge any more.
To me this is a good sturdy Cab full of flavor, with a variety of spices that offers a depth to each sip. As usual this wine gets better the longer it is open.
I think the Winemaker’s notes that I found on the Toasted Head website describe this wine better than I ever could:
“Our Cabernet Sauvignon offers fragrant cherry and cassis aromas framed by toasty, spicy oak scents. On the mouth filling palate, the wine’s juicy, red-fruit flavors are balanced by firm, supple tannins and a savory, toasted oak tone. Delicious now, our Cabernet’s depth and structure will enable it to age well in bottle for several years.”
As I’ve mentioned before I am a big fan of labels and I think this one is super fun, with the bear breathing fire. The other thing I really enjoy about this wine is that it is always under $20 and the majority of the time it is closer to $14. Go get a bottle, I think you’ll like it, or bring one to my house and I’ll help you drink it!
