Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Cabernet Sauvignon from ZD will be very popular at fine steak houses. It opens with a blackberry and toasted coconut bouquet with hints of black cherry and mocha. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, round, refined, and very approachable. The flavor profile is a black plum and mild milk chocolate blend with notes of cedar, toasted coconut, and blackberry. I also detected hints of black cherry, and stone dust. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and well-managed moderate tannins drift away nicely. I would pair this very food friendly Cabernet Sauvignon with filet mignon. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: This wine has a beautiful, deep ruby color with nuanced aromas blending cassis, anise, cola, black cherry pie, and subtle hints of baking spices complemented with cedar and vanilla. On the palate, red and dark fruits are forward and bright with fine, well-integrated tannins that gives it an unctuous mouthfeel. Lingering hints of blackberry, cocoa, and toasty vanilla round out the long, lush finish. The balance of this wine leads to it drinking wonderfully now and it will continue to develop more complexity with age. Produced using 100% certified organic grapes.
