Wine Review: This slightly opaque and midnight blue colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Jordan opens with a pomegranate and acai berry bouquet with hint of black cherry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, slightly acidic and easy to drink. The flavor profile is a mineral infused mild plum and black cherry blend with note of strawberry licorice and a touch of gentle oak. The finish is dry and subtlety drifts away. This food friendly Cab would pair well with teriyaki steak tips. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Visually stunning with a deep garnet-ruby hue, this wine possesses an unprecedented elegance of fruit expression, lively acidity, tannin structure and oak integration. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry and cassis are supported by subtle hints of baking spice and vanilla from oak aging. The mouthfeel is soft, silky and robing with a seemingly never ending finish. Enjoy now or cellar through 2025. Decant prior to serving to further accentuate the aromas and flavors.
