Samantha Sheehan of POE Wines and Mommenpop Spirits launched the Ultraviolet line to craft quality California wines that are still affordable. The 2021 Ultraviolet is a juicy, fresh, voluptuous wine comprised of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. The Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Red Hills AVA located east of St. Helena, at the base of a volcano. The Cabernet Franc comes from the Coombsville, Napa AVA. This oozes sunny California authenticity with ripe notes of blueberry compote, plums, fresh violet petals, and currant. The palate is round with rich flavors of blackberry bramble, blueberry, and dark plums and a slight earthiness with bright acidity and velvety persistent tannin. If you like fruity California Cabernets, this is an excellent bottle and one of the best for under $20.
