This dark ruby wine’s nose shows bright red cherry and plum, black pepper and hint of vanilla. The palate features big fruit, mocha and a nice savory tobacco edge. Great tannins and acidity make it a wonderful wine to pair with beef. The oak treatment is beneficial, not overdone. The wine finishes strong with fruity earth notes.

Chocolate, currant, fruit forward and mildly acidic with a slightly bitter and dry finish. I like this even as someone who isn't partial to Cabs or Napa wines.
