Lapis Luna Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Reviewed on June 11, 2021

It's been ages since we've tasted a Cabernet Sauvignon on the air. The Lapis Luna 2018 from California is an excellent match for summer barbecues and for Father's Day coming up on June 20th. It has bold flavours of black currant, blueberry, cinnamon and dark chocolate. The tannins are nicely entwined in this plush fruit core. I am ecstatic that I managed to find a good value wine in the $20 price point with the current exchange rate with the US dollar.

This wine comes from the Lodi AVA in the Central Valley east of the Napa Valley where the cost of land is much more affordable. The warm weather days help to ensure that the Cabernet Sauvignon has enough heat and time to ripen fully. So fire up the barbie and pour yourself a glass. Grill up some steaks and a basket of veggies (don't forget to add some yams or sweet potatoes to the blend) and give thanks to the moon & stars!
