Critic Review: "A whiff of a plastic, chemical note mars the simple black cherry and earth aromas. The palate is fruity but flat and dull up front. Chocolate and cola at the back of the midpalate sitting on a ripple of acidity give the wine some life carrying through the short but pleasant finish. Tannins are very soft. A touch of sweetness but not too cloying, the balance assisted by that tart note that creeps in to remind you that this is wine, not grape juice.
Another decent but unremarkable wine, it isn’t big and juicy but also avoids excessive sweetness. If you’re not allergic to a mildly tart finish you might find this refreshing.
The last time I checked in with this wine they were sourcing grapes from Chile. These grapes are at least 75% American. It’s basically the same flavor profile but slightly less oaky than in the past." Source: https://foodandwineaesthetics.com/2017/01/27/wine-review-rex-goliath-cabernet-sauvignon-nv-american/
Personal Review: I personally enjoyed this wine. At first, all I could smell was vinegar. But upon tasting and resmelling, I could smell some cherry as well. I tasted lots of chocolate and cherry in the in the wine. It was what I think to be a medium body, medium viscosity. It was not too dry and left me very content. I would like to try and pair it with some other foods.
