Winery Review: Simply Naked Cabernet Sauvignon has plum, black cherry and cinnamon spice with chewy tannins that don't weigh down the wine. Medium-full bodied.

Serve with:

• grilled or roasted red meats,
• tomato-based pasta dishes,
• and hard cheeses.

Personal Review: on the nose I get: dark fruits and a sweet cassis jam flavor. When I taste it I get the smell of graphite. The mid Pallate is very dry and I get the taste of dried cranberries. The wine is a medium body. The finish is of spices and wood. I enjoy this wine because there is less if an oaky component to it. There is a hint of oaky-ness. However, I does not over power the wine. I did not pair this wine with food. Overall, it was okay. It may have been a little to earthy for me. I would like to try it again, before I decide that I do not like it.
