Leese-Fitch is one of the brands produced by “The Other Guys” wine company in California. While I don’t think of them as a big wine producer, I see their wines everywhere I shop so they must be producing a pretty good volume of wine. Some of the other wines they produce include Plungerhead, Pennywise and Hey Mambo.
This cabernet sauvignon is OK. It has good fruit aromas, but could use a little more concentration and depth.
Cherry, raspberry, tobacco and mulberry aromas give this wine a decent nose that’s moderately balanced. In the mouth, tart cherry, mulberry, plum and black tea flavors offer good complexity. It’s a little “thin” for lack of a better word, in other words the flavors aren’t as intense or rich as I expect from a California cabernet sauvignon. It does have a nice mouthfeel though and good acidity. The finish is also pretty good.
