Another wine I tried on (1/18/2023) was a Cabernet Sauvignon. This happened to be one of the first red wines I have tasted. Again, I had this wine at someone's apartment who was hosting a wine tasting. This wine costs $16.99. This is a varietal dry red table wine. This wine was made in Western United States, Clarksburg California. The vintage of this bottle is 2020.
Winemaker's Notes:
"French oak beautifully transforms intense mountain fruit into a wine with uncommon richness, yet smooth and luxurious texture. Juggernaut Hillside Cabernet is a wine that is fierce, brave, and delicious.
Rich and intense with a complex character and smooth finish. Luxurious texture with black currants and vanilla. Aroma of licorice and blackberry."

From the Wine Folly Book (page 88), it talks about the Cabernet Sauvignon wine. "The world's most popular wine is a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc that originated in Bordeaux. Wines are concentrated and age-worthy." It is a full bodied wine that is not very acidic or sweet. It is usually kept in a cellar for maturation for 5-25 years. It is very popular and is grown in many countries on a total of around 713,575 acres of land.
My own experience from this wine was it was intense. The aroma was very strong, especially compared the white wine I tasted earlier and it was a tangy/fruity aroma. (I guess of the grape.) When I tasted it, it was pretty smooth with a dull flavor at first and then it hit me with a strong punch of sour/fruity grape and ended with almost a spicy flavor. This wine I thought was a little too intense for me and I would say I prefer the Pinot Grigio from earlier over the Cabernet Sauvignon wine.
