Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Rombauer is impressive! It opens with a blueberry bouquet with hints of strawberry licorice and cherry pie. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, elegant and smooth. The flavor profile is a raspberry tea and red cherry blend with notes of minerality, white pepper and toasted oak. The finish is dry and its flavors and moderate tannins continue to be displayed on a flawlessly long finish. The Panel suggested pairing this Cab with a filet mignon. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: This elegantly balanced wine is deep and dark with a magenta hue. Aromas of blackberry, cassis and black cherry combine seamlessly with sweet notes of milk chocolate, vanilla and tobacco. The palate is ripe and soft, with pronounced black cherry and a hint of cocoa powder. Lush tannins and sweet, subtle oak build on the palate for a long finish.
