Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Crossbarn opens with a black currant and pencil shavings bouquet with hints of peppermint and violets. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and fruit forward. The flavor profile is menthol and graphite blend with notes of peppermint and black plum. We also detected a touch of Chai tea. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and mild fine tannins drift away nicely. The Tasting Panel would pair this Cab with a wild boar ragu. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: In appearance this wine displays a deep, opaque saturated garnet hue. The nose captivates with red currant and ripe huckleberry with sweetly scented undertones of violet and aromatic dried herb. The flavor palate bursts with juicy wild blackberry essence and Japanese plum complemented by notes of tobacco leaf and baking spice. Vibrant with ample energy, tension and structure, the wine is both complex and richly textured finishing in a long, elegant crescendo by virtue of its silky fine-grained tannins.
