Avalon Napa Valley 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, $15.29-$19.99, 86 points, was an opaque ruby color with a thin clear wine ring and moderate draping.
Light aromas of cedar, fennel, and black plum were okay.
Full-bodied with fair acidity and mellow tannins managed to deliver where it counted: paired with my beefy lasagna.
Flavors reflected the aromas with a bit of tobacco in the mist of black currant and a moderate 13.8% alcohol on the fair finish.
It appears that tobacco maybe a tertiary influence of aging Cabernet Sauvignon in oak. Duh!
