  Just had to try this after being a NASCAR fan for years. Childress is a car owner in NASCAR who has had NASCAR Cup wins with stars like Dale Earnhardt Sr, Kevin Harvick, Robby Gordon, Jeff Burton and Clint Boyer.
  
  Low Alcohol at 12.5%. Decent nose of black cherries, current, tobacco, earth, spice. Nice fruity Cab with blackcherry, black currant, cigar box, earthy tones. Virtually no tannins at all, smooth, good acidity, not that complex - almost monolithic, medium length finish. Tastes more like a Washington Cab than a Napa Cab, good BBQ wine, respectable for North Carolina wine.
