Joaquin’s Inferno, Santa Ynez Valley (Santa Barbara County, California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Oct 5, 2021

By Rich Cook

 This appellation is undersung when it comes to Cabernet, which means there are deals to be found.  This bottle represents, with deep varietally correct aromas and flavors, generous oak character and good structure.  That’s a lot to ask for at twenty bucks.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
