One tasty barrel- Silver Ridge Barrel Select Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Last night, I finished dinner and was craving some wine. Problem was, I had no bottles at home to choose from. My wine stash was empty. So, with no other options available, I ran off to the local corner store. I scanned the options, and couldn't make up my mind. Then I saw a little sign that recognized one particular wine as a gold medal winner. I don't usually pay too much attention to these signs, as I feel like these days every wine has won an award at some competition or another. However, given my indecisiveness, I decided that selecting this wine was probably the easiest path to follow. I bought the wine and was on my way.

The gold medal wine was the 2003 Silver Ridge Barrel Select Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine definitely lived up to its award. It was really good. It was well balanced, wasn't too heavy, and had a really nice aftertaste. It was the perfect after dinner sipping wine. It was so good, that by the end of the evening, there was no need to pull out the wine vacuum and store the leftovers!

Recommendation: Definitely buy it
