MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) –– Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. (NYSE American: VINE), the premier producer of lower carb, lower sugar, and lower calorie premium wines in the United States, today announced that The Tasting Panel Magazine and The Somm Journal, two highly-regarded wine publications, have awarded Fresh Vine Wine’s California Cabernet Sauvignon, 2020 Vintage, a 92 Rating. This is the second of Fresh Vine Wine’s varietals to receive a 92 Rating this year, with its Limited Reserve Napa Cabernet Sauvignon receiving 92 points from James Suckling in July.
The review noted, “Grapes harvested at lower sugar are the foundation for this delicious red, produced by the hands of winemaker Jamey Whetstone. With only 103 calories, lower carbs, and coming in at a low 13.5 abv, the flavors remain intact for balance, acidity, and aromatics. Black peppered blackberry and cigar leaf shows depth, while the wine’s lithe frame exudes flavors of cedar, cinnamon, and dark chocolate. A memorable mouthfeel persuades that next sip. 92”
“We are greatly honored that both The Tasting Panel and The Somm Journal have rated our California Cabernet Sauvignon “Outstanding,” a wine of superior character and style. This rating, as well as those of James Suckling and TEXSOM, are a testament to our remarkable winemaking capabilities, which delivers superior premium wine taste while creating a well-balanced lower-sugar wine,” said Jamey Whetstone, Winemaker, of Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. “We know consumers seek products that provide affordable luxury, and appeal to those living a healthy lifestyle is rapidly expanding.
