Wine Review: This midnight purple colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Ferrari Carano opens with a black currant and black licorice bouquet with a hint of oak. On the palate, this wine is a medium bodied, balanced and savory. The flavor profile is a gentle black currant with notes of oak and minerality and hints of blueberry, pomegranate and black tea. The finish is dry and its mild tannins are surprisingly sticky. This Cab would pair well with meatloaf. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Vibrant aromas of blackberry, black cherry, cola, tobacco, cardamom and cassis awaken the senses, while full‐bodied flavors of pomegranate, vanilla and clove generously fill the palate. Lingering notes of toasty leather round out the finish.
