2007 Barra of Mendocino Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendocino
Deep purple/black color. The nose starts with polished shoe leather and menthol/mint, leading to ample dark fruits. Medium-full in body, it shows redder berry and plum fruits in the mouth. Very fine-grained tannins at the end make this an enjoyable red wine right now.
MSRP: $20 (November 2011)
