Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Cab based blend garnered a unanimous 90 point score from the panel. It opens with a ripe boysenberry bouquet with a hint of vanilla oak and black raspberry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and fruit forward. The flavor profile is plum with notes of black cherry, red currant, vanilla and old oak. The finish is dry and its mild tannins are well managed. The panel suggested pairing this tasty wine with orange chicken or wild mushroom risotto. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The aromas are complex and alluring with layers of sage and dried tobacco leaf wrapped around a chocolate covered cherry core. This wine offers a full, textured mouthfeel, with flavors echoing the aromas. A long, juicy currant finish is underscored by hints of toasted oak and dried herbs
