Smith & Hook, Arroyo Seco (Monterey County, California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Aug 10, 2015

By Rich Cook

A crowd pleasing Cabernet Sauvignon that delivers character without pretense.  Forward mixed berry, cassis, faint dried herbs and a touch of Monterey pepper ride on moderate tannins, and food friendly acidity.  The finish emphasizes red fruit, spice and a touch of citrus zest.  It’s fine on its own, or serve it with simply grilled meats.
