Bridlewood Estate Winery Cabernet Paso Robles 2009



Type: Cabernet Sauvignon
Year: 2009
Price: ?
Rating: 4 - Would definitely buy again
Where Bought: Discount Liquor - Lisbon
Comments: A surprisingly nice wine. A very nice bouquet and an interesting buttery flavor after a short crisp sharpness, probably due to the strength of the Cabernet. A nice surprise which we would like to try again. If its consistent, then we have a winner.

Rating: 4 - Would definitely buy again

Comments: (Sat. Nov. 23rd 2013) Continues to be very good and hard to beat for the price.
Comments: The Yellow Tail wines are amazing. Their flavor is rich and solid. And how can you argue the price? This blend of Shiraz Cabernet is very flavorful and the Shiraz softens the stronger Cabernet. A nice wine, great price and will definitely try this wine and brand again.
