Wine Review: I’m calling this ruby red wine a new world Cab with Bordeaux style. It has fruit and finesse. This wine opens with a very prominent black current and peppermint like bouquet. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied, extremely smooth, and very approachable. The flavor profile of this wine is dark berries and black cherries. This wine will match well with rack of lamb. The finish is dry, tingles a bit, and is quite prolonged. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Sultry cassis, rose perfume, gentle molasses, secure tannins...secure wine.

Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Cabernet Sauvignon.
