Not an interesting green screen background to set the scene for this one, even though it's my favorite wine to date. It is affordable, smooth, and reliable. I've bought a couple bottles of this one and really do enjoy it. It cost about $9.99 and is another California (E.J. Gallo) Cabernet Sauvignon from 2022.
It has a slight chocolate aroma with hints of vanilla. I feel it is more fruity than a few other reds I have tried, with low acidity. It has the sweetness of a date and smells of blackberries and raspberries peek through a bit. I also tasted pomegranate upon the first sip. The tannins are low and it doesn't make my mouth feel like a desert and the sides of my mouth don't water when I drink it. I do agree with the back of the bottle that writes about it's jammy flavor - I would totally spread this on a piece of toast.
Research online taught me a couple of things: made by winemaker Deb Juergenson, she seeks to carry European traditions starting with naming this wine. She was inspired by the word "Apotheca," a place where wine was blended in 13th century Europe which I found interesting. Others who have tried the wine write about Vanilla aromas, a silky texture, and gumdrop spice with caramel flavors. These additional descriptors are consistent with my opinions and will rate this awesome wine a 9/10.
