Josh Cellars 卡本內蘇維濃

Poured a glass last night and was surprised by how well the cinnamon and vanilla came through without being too sweet. It’s smooth enough to sip on its own but also held up nicely with the steak I had. A solid everyday red that’s easy to finish a bottle of.

The toasted hazelnut note really comes through on the finish, and it's smooth enough that I didn't need to let it breathe long before the blackberry and cinnamon flavors opened up. Bought two bottles for a dinner party and they were gone before dessert.

Popped this open after a long week, and the toasted hazelnut note on the nose is what hooked me first. It’s round and juicy without being heavy, and the vanilla oakiness lingers just enough to make the next sip feel easy. Went down way smoother than I expected for the price.
