2002 Artesa Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon
Score: 80
Inexpensive and easy to find are two attributes that most wines I review do not have. Artesa Cabernet Sauvignon has both. It is a fairly approachable wine, especially to those red lovers looking to move into the realm of California Cabs. Decent nose, a little floral and some spice, smooth texture, currants, and a little earthy with little to no aftertaste. I did find it lacked structure and finesse, was more of a simple wine with a little too fruit forward palette. Overall, a decent wine for the price, but there is better out there.
