A small taste from a bottle opened by Domino. Crimson color with notes of black raspberry, cherry, kirsch, warm spice and vanilla. Medium-bodied with flavors of black fruit, cherry, spice and vanilla. Medium tannins. Nice value.

Cabs are usually to chewy and juicy for our liking. This one had a more mature and flavor with a bit of berry 'cab' flavor up front but a nice dry nutty finish. Hints of what we like about Pinot Niors.

The deep inky purple is very misleading. While this wine tasted better on the second day, I found it offensive after just opening. Funkiness abounds in palate and lingers through finish.
