Tasting- Beliveau Estate Winery Silhouette (Cabernet Sauvignon)



Name: Beliveau Estate Winery Silhouette, Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Kluge (Trump) VA - North Fork of Roanoke 
Country: USA
Year: 2011
Price: $20

Winery review: Our Cabernet Sauvignon is a cornucopia of light berry flavors topped with a spicy overtone. Medium body with nose to spare and a long finish. This "East Coast style" Cab pairs with steak, veal, and lamb, as well as chicken cordon bleu, pork with cranberry chutney, or your favorite ham & cheese. Strong enough to hold it's own, but delicate enough to not overpower your meal. Silhouette is also wonderful all by itself!

My review: A very dry, but pleasant wine. A hint of tart berry, similar to cranberry and a spice. It was a good wine, with wonderful aromas. I would try it again.  

I tasted this on its own with no food.
