Wine Review: This Old World styled Cab was very different from most of the wines in our Big Blind tasting. It is dark ruby colored and opens with a smoky and oak like bouquet with hints of brown spices. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied and balanced. The flavor profile is an oak infused black olive and plum. The finish is rather dry and its fine tannins sail on for quite sometime. The panel recommends this wine with beef bourguignon! Enjoy - KWGTP
