Drinking wine is not only an experience you share with others, but one that allows a discussion. It doesn’t matter what type of wine enthusiast you are to express your opinion on the bottle, the cork, the way the wine pours, smells, swirls and tastes.

While I don’t live in California, I have been to wine country many times and it is one of my favorite places for the beauty, ambiance, company and of course wine. I started WyzeWine to share my opinions on wines and wineries whether they are in California, Georgia or partaking in a glass of wine at home from Trader Joes or Costco. Cheers!

It’s a wine-Deerfield weekend! 🍷 My version of wonderful!

Wyze Wine’s first post had to be on a wine from my favorite winery, Deerfield Ranch Winery located in Kenwood, California. I love their mouth-watering red wines!

The gem I opened the other day was their 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon. I am sad to say I am down to our last few bottles of this…

This wine is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, 4% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Syrah. It has been aged for 39 months in 60% French and 40% American barrels, 25% new. Sounds delicious right? It sure is!

I love how Deerfield describes it as a “multi-dimensional wine that changes as you drink it. It evolves and holds your interest.” I completely agree.

My impressions:

Pours: Thick, deep garnet red

Smell: A bouquet of ripe red and dark fruit, cherries, blackberries, plum all laced with beautiful cedar and a touch of allspice.

Taste: Mouth-watering, full-bodied, oaky, syrupy, fruit forward but not sweet, tannins compliment wine and round it out.

I enjoy wine not only because it is complex and delicious, but that it brings people together. Having a glass of wine is not only an experience you share with others, but one that allows a discussion. It doesn’t matter what type of wine enthusiast you are to express your opinion on the bottle, the cork, the way the wine pours, smells, swirls and tastes. This makes it a very inclusive beverage!
