A few other tidbits gleaned from "Uncorked":
ReplyDelete"sauvignon" comes from "sauvage" meaning wild;
Fruitiness is almost always found in young vs mature wines;
Editor's Note: Coppola's Rubicon Cask Cabernet, esp 03 or 07, is an outstanding substitute to the much heralded flagship Rubicon and 1/3ish the price. I've enjoyed both on a few occasions...however the host of this show was PAID to taste both...again, THIS is my calling.
Incidentally, for $20ish try the Director's Cut Cab.
