Wine Review: This deep purple colored Cabernet Sauvignon based wine initially opens with a blackberry and shoe polish like bouquet with hints of red currant. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, round, and rich. The flavor profile is blackberry, stony minerality, and black raspberry blend with notes of black licorice and oak. We also detected hints of black pepper and black tea. It closes with its fruit flavors and mild tannins that drift away nicely. We would swirl this red blend before pairing it with a grilled duck breast. Enjoy – Ken and Dave

Winemaker Notes: Deep, dark and luxurious, this wine offers alluring aromas of blackberry, black cherry, blueberry, currant and cocoa powder, with underlying hints of saddle leather, cinnamon and clove. The voluptuous dark berry notes are echoed on the palate where they are framed by supple tannins and sophisticated layers of anise, vanilla, sweet tobacco leaf and fresh-cracked black pepper, all of which carry the wine to a juicy dark berry finish.
