Wine Review: This ruby colored Cab will appeal to Zin fans as it has similar characteristics. It opens with a new leather bouquet with a hint of raisin. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and savory. The flavor profile is plum with a touch of craisin and oak. The finish is dry and its moderate tannins are slightly prolonged. I would pair this wine with a messy rack of ribs. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: All of the grapes were grown at our estate vineyards, which are certified organic and Biodynamic. The result is an elegant wine with aromas of black cherries and licorice with a long finish. Full bodied with smooth tannins, it's the perfect partner with filet mignon, grilled steak or lamb chops.
