2003 Wellington Vineyards Cabernet
While on a road trip recently, our good friend Dave opened up a bottle of 2003 Wellington Vineyards Cabernet. He purchased it through wine.woot! (which offers weekly wine deals) and was curious to see what we all thought of it, so we opened it up.
The wine was not particularly fruity - yet it also was not heavy with oak. The best words to describe it were earthy and rich. I’m glad Dave decided to open this wine up, we really enjoyed it. Lisa cooked us a wonderful meal of spaghetti and meatballs and while the meal was delicious and the wine was delicious - I don’t think they were the best match for each other. I think the wine would be wonderful paired with a steak - it has that dark appeal to it. It could also go well with some of the tangier cheeses.
I would love to taste this wine again with a different dish and after it has aged. I really enjoyed it as it was and it could only get better.
