Another distinctive terroir that produces really fine food friendly profiles. Bing cherry meets plum tones.

From Clos Pepe, Radian, Fiddlestix & Bentrock vineyards, aged for 10 months in French oak (45% new), aromas of ripe red berry fruits and complex spice. On the palate cherry and raspberry flavors with notes of tea and pepper wrapped in smoky oak. Fine tannins, nicely balanced lingering ending with an earthy mineral tang.

This was an okay cab. Depending on the price, I’d buy this. Better than most low end cabs I’ve tried. This wine was gifted.
