Monster Vineyards 2012 The Cabs 750ml

The reason it’s Cabs plural is it’s a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, to the tune of 48 percent, and Cabernet Franc (28 percent), as well as 18 percent Merlot and the balance made up of Malbec. Good weight, lots of berries, with a touch of dark chocolate and a deep, long finish; an excellent wine and good value. While all four wines are ready to drink now, the Cabs might get even better with a year or two of bottle age. Definitely a carnivore’s dinner companion.
