Yesterday in a tasting room I saw these adorable flip flop coasters and that made me want to drink some flipflop wine. So tonight, I popped open (or rather, twisted open) the flipflop cabernet. This is a summer cabernet, if there is such a thing! Usually, cabernet is heavy with lots of dark fruit and tannin. Well, this one has all the fruit but not the darkness. Smells like berry flesh and a bit of black pepper. The midpalate is bright and happy. And some nice, juicy berries & cherries on the finish. I’m enjoying this with some chocolate but it would also be delicious with a burger! Each of the flipflop wines I have tried are fruit driven and very approachable and this one is no different :-)
