2008 Eola Hills Cabernet Sauvignon

Happy Cabernet Day everyone! I really wanted to find an Oregon cab sauv to drink this evening in honor of this great holiday that has been coined, Cabernet Day :) I headed to my local Safeway (which actually has a great selection of NW wines) to pick my evening treat.  Low and behold there was one,  count it, ONE Oregon cab sauv... 2008 Eola Hills Cabernet Sauvignon.  Well, I actually have never tried said wine, and I was very excited to do so.  I am a FAN of Eola Hills wine.  They have great pinots, and all very considerably priced.  Anywho, this cab sauv was delightfully tastey! Deep dark purple-ish red in color, this cab is delectably bold with hints of anise and black berry.  There is a hint of dryness mid pallet, but it finishes a tad buttery.  Overall, I was pleasantly surprised at the overall taste and would definitely pay $15 for another bottle.
Cheers & Happy CabDay everyone!!
