Wine Review: This was one of our top CDP selections at this year’s Boston Wine Expo. It is pitch black colored and opens with a blueberry bouquet with hints of black cherry, oak, and dried meat. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced, smooth and rich. The flavor profile is a tasty cassis and black licorice blend with hints of blackberry, black pepper and oak. The finish is dry and its sticky tannins linger of quite some time. Don't let the name of this wine fool you, it is quite masculine. That said, this wine will benefit from some decanting and swirling in the near term. Serve it with a well-marbled ribeye. Enjoy - Ken
