Wine Review: You will never believe this gem is 75% Cab. I certainly thought it would have a greater % of Syrah. Either way everyone that tried it thought it was a terrific wine and a heck of a bargain. It is an opaque dark purple color and opens with a very attractive blueberry bouquet. There was also a hint of black raspberry in the background. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, very well balanced, and silky. The flavor profile is a delicious blueberry with just a kiss of oak. The finish is dry and its refined tannins are very mellow and slightly prolonged. This delicious blend would be perfect in the near term with filet mignon. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This amazingly well endowed profoundly rich red wine must be smelled and tasted to be believed. The color is a rich, deep purple garnet and gives but a small hint as to what’s inside. The nose gives off soaring and wonderfully focused aromas of ripe stone fruit, vanilla, cherries, cedar cigar box, blackberries and cinnamon. In the mouth, there are layers upon layers of broad, sweet opulent fruit balanced by firm tannins, great acidity and oak. This wine truly showcases the potential of blending and is a must have.
