Wine Review: This deep purple colored Cabernet Sauvignon is a very good value. It opens with a very mild black plum and flinty wet stone bouquet with a hint of oak. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, slightly acidic, round, smooth and quite approachable. The flavor profile is a blend of very ripe black cherry along with notes of blueberry, cola and mocha. We also detected hints of oak and some baking spices mixed in. The finish is subtle and fades away nicely. While this is not a very complex wine, it will be a crowd pleaser and liked by many. Enjoy it on a Tuesday night with your favorite burger. Enjoy – Ken and Rick

Winemaker Notes: A deep red tinged with magenta, this wine has a serious nose with scents of mixed berries, toasted oak, aged leather and the whiff of smokiness from an outdoor grill. The entry entices with rich fruit, as blueberries mingle with traces of strawberries cooked down to their essence. Then the palate yields to textural softness, filling the mouth with luxurious dark chocolate and notes of vanilla and brown spice. A hint of sweet oak infuses the finish, which trails off with the taste of ripe berries and the granular texture of wood.
