The Stuff:100% Napa Valley Cabernet, 42 months in oak, 13%ABV, 637 cases made
The Swirl: Nice dark rust colored plum with a little translucence (almost see to the bottom of the glass)
The Sniff: I never wanted to stop smelling this wine. Floral perfume kissed me first, then gentle bright blueberry and strawberry aromas held hands and skipped through my nose. They were followed up by some mellow vanilla notes. This is the kind of wine scent you wish for in every bottle of Cabernet!
The Sip: Definitely does not disappoint – The fruit is soft and supple like a long slow French kiss. The passion builds as some spicy pepper jumps in. The finish is super balanced and longs with enough tannin to keep the wine strong with food.
The Score: At $35 this is a 5 (out of 5) wine for me. I love the complete package and would definitely buy this bottle again.2,574 views
