Thursday, November 17, 2022 - Retail $35. Big. Ass. Bottle. 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc. From the Aquilini family in Canada, this bottle dispels the myth that all Canadians are environmentally conscious. Deep rich color, with blackberry pie à la mode a go-go on the nose along with spice (clove) and a touch of earth. Close to a whoa before the first sip. The palate is also rich and luscious without being over-bearing. The initial fruit is joined by the zingy tartness and a bit of heat on the mid-palate, then by some subtle tannins right before the lengthy finish. At thirty-five bucks? This is a steal. You also get a free murder weapon once you have finished the wine. #DoBetter
