Wine Review: This deep purple colored Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a black currant and black cherry bouquet with hints of cola, licorice, and cardamom. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with nicely integrated acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, layered, smooth, and concentrated. The flavor profile is a black currant and chocolate blend with notes of black cherry and oak. We also detected hints of sage, tobacco, and loam in the mix. The finish is dry, and its dusty tannins stick around for quite a while. The Tasting Panel would pair this very impressive Cab with a well-marbled ribeye. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Luxuriously dark and concentrated, this wine displays alluring aromas of cassis, dark cherry, spiced plum, chocolate, and sweet baking spices, with hints of toasted oak, cardamom, clove, and vanilla from French oak aging. On the palate, this wine is voluptuously full bodied, with a lavish structure and supple tannins framing the ripe dark berry and black currant flavors. As it glides to a long resonant finish, sophisticated hints of espresso, cedar cigar box, anise and fresh herbs emerge, adding nuance and depth.
