Last night we had the Cabernet Sauvignon that we picked up at the Talon Winery in Lexington, Kentucky. At first this wine was a little tight or closed up, but after about an hour in the decanter, it really got smoother and more mellow. The dominant aroma and taste was black currants and cherry, but it also had an indescribable taste that was neither good nor bad...It was just different compared to most Cabs we've had in the past. We drank this wine last night with steaks and mushrooms that were seasoned and grilled. The wine was better with the food than without. All in all, it was nice to drink a wine that reminded us of our summer trip to Kentucky!! Plus, it's always fun to try new wines from outside of the common wine producing states.
