I’m sure we’re all guilty of this, you see this wine everywhere, it’s in your price range yet for some reason you just never seem to give it much thought. That was my experience with Coastline Cabernet by Adler Fels. But on a recent wine shopping trip I decided to check it out and pretty glad I did.
Colors in the glass are a deep purple with lots of legs. Aromas consist of cassis, red berries and a hint of vanilla. Layers of flavors boasting ripe berries and spice hit mid-palate with a smooth mouthfeel and an oaky finish. There’s a subtle dryness that sneaks up in the finish, meanwhile your brain is still mulling over the mid-palate berry explosion.
Adler Fels winery was founded in Sonoma Valley in 1979 by David and Ayn Coleman. David Coleman developed innovations in production that became industry standards. Along with creating the first gold foil label to be used on California wine bottles, Coleman also is credited with inventing the adjustable top fermentation tank as well as developing a unique program of custom winemaking so their clients could contract bottle their own proprietary wine blends and brands. The winery is currently owned by Adams Wine Group and consists of a collection of premium wineries.
Technical stuff:
Varietal composition: 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Malbec, 1% Merlot, and 1% Mixed red varietalsAppellation: Paso RoblesAlcohol: 13.4%Total Acid: 0.59 g/100mlpH: 3.98
I must confess the only reason I picked this wine up is because Total Wine had a shelf talker stating this was their best selling Cabernet. This wine lover thought it to be a great value at $8.99 and once again, I’m a happy wine drinker.
