Winery review: The inaugural 2011 Plungerhead Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon is dark ruby in color with aromas of blackberry, plum, spearmint, roasted red pepper, and fire toasted oak. Flavors of black currant, sweetened dried cranberry, dark chocolate, and black raspberry jump from your mouth finishing with notes of vanilla, espresso, dried cherry, caramel, and hints of mint.

My review: The nose of this wine smelled like blueberry jam, strawberry jam and grape jam. The mouth feel was light and the wine had an overall light body. The main flavor of the wine was strawberry. The finish was much too dry for me. I would try this wine again but with food to curve the edge of the harsh finish.

I tried this wine without food.
