Mobius 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon



On the bottle:














750mL, 14.6% Alc. by vol., HEB, $15.98

I bought this wine tonight since I was finishing my review of the Mobius Chardonnay and I really like the idea of drinking all the varietals from one vineyard. I love the dark notes from red wine like this one, it reminds me of blackberries. There is also a spicy finish, but no sticky mouth. I drank this wine with the same two cheeses from the chardonnay. This wine complimented with salty, butteriness of the Saint Andre so well, and it worked with the CheesyGirl Buff too! I could also see this wine working with sharp cheddars, gruyere, aged goudas and more. I think this wine should be paired with foods that are flavorful and not too bland; spicy, salty, and / acidic dishes. I would recommend this wine to friends having a wine and cheese party.

I bought this wine back in August because of the name. It's a good chardonnay, a bit sweet, but with a good acidic zing at the end. I enjoyed it and paired with with CheesyGirl Buff (goat cheese) and Saint Andre (triple cream brie). I think I liked it better with the goat cheese because there was too much contrast with saltiness of the brie. I enjoyed the wine plenty, but I don't think I'd want to pay this much for it again, but that's because I'm a cheapo.
