Vampire Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Review

It's my favorite time of year with my favorite holiday, so I love these wines labeled specifically for Halloween.

Tonight, I'm enjoying Vampire Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, from Napa, California. It has a dark ruby color and a woodsy smell of clay, moss and cedar. It's pleasingly dry, with no bitterness, and a smooth mouth feeling. There is a taste of dark berries, dark chocolate and espresso. Seasonally perfect! The finish is nice and long, moving slightly into a smoky plum taste. 

Very drinkable on it own, but it was wickedly good with my steak and mushroom soup. It's a very nice table wine, and I believe it would work extremely well with the upcoming holiday feasts, although you might want to hide the label to keep your guests from getting nervous. Don't worry, though. They'll be asking you to reveal the name of your secret potion. What will really put them under its spell is its affordability! 


Until then, flaunt your Halloween spirit with this bold statement wine. 13.5% alcohol, so please drink responsibly.
