Wine Review: This dark colored Cabernet Sauvignon opens a black currant bouquet with notes of pipe tobacco and wintergreen. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The flavor profile is a black currant and cedar blend with notes of graphite, pomegranate, and red licorice. I also detected a hints of vanilla, clove, and oolong tea. The finish is dry, and its flavors and moderate dusty tannins fade away nicely. I would pair this good value Napa Cab with grilled steak tips. Enjoy - Ken
