Wine Review: This opaque and dark purple colored Cabernet opens with a spicy blackberry bouquet with a hint of cedar and boysenberry. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced, and slightly acidic. The flavor profile is a juicy, ripe black currant and oak blend with notes of spice and black pepper. The finish is quite dry and its sticky dusty oak tannins linger for quite a while. This Cab would be a nice option with an Angus bacon burger. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Aromas of cedary oak, currants, black cherries and ripe plums are rich and concentrated on the palate. The firm tannins underlying the wine's core provide balance, leading to a long, lingering finish.
