Cab Savingnon

Posted by: Moose, Saturday, March 06, 2010

I am interested in making a cab sav kit. I have made 8 to 10 kits in past 8 months of various whites and a couple of reds, Malbec & Pinot Noir. I like both these reds really well especially the Malbec. I would like to make a Cab Sav that would have something like a 2 on the oak scale and maybe a 3 on the body with 0 sweetness. After looking in all the wine catalogs and there being several Cabs listed, I would like to have someones opinion that has made it before. Can anyone help me out on this with giving me their preferences on a good Cab. I realize everyone taste is different but I would like your opinions
Thanks again
Morris
