Verdict Blackcurrant and cherry on the nose, with hints of blueberry and chocolate. The palate is light and somewhat thin; a subtle chocolate note gives the finish s… Dealcoholized California Cabernet with black cherry, dark berry, and mocha — smooth, medium-full, gently tannic, finishing on dark chocolate and tart cherry.
Flavor Differs Blackcurrant, Cherry, Chocolate Cherry, Blackberry, Chocolate
Sweetness Differs — Dry
Body Differs Light body Medium body
Acidity Differs — Moderate acidity
Likeness Some red-wine character remains, including a cocoa-like note toward the finish. The body has more substance than some nonalcoholic reds, but still feels thin for Cabernet Sauvignon. Good: dark berry, mocha, and soft tannin stay in a Cabernet register rather than grape juice.
