Wine Review: This very dark opaque purple colored Cab was quite impressive. This wine opens with an attractive boysenberry and black raspberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, nicely balanced, and ultra smooth. The flavor profile is a very tasty black currant with integrated spice and notes of black cherry. The finish is rather dry and its well managed moderate tannins are quite extended and linger. Our group thought this Cab was food friendly and would pair it with beef bourguignon. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Rich and luscious on the nose with aromas of roasted chiles, black cherry, and a hint of rosemary. A velvety texture on the mouth with cherries, black currant, and dried cherry cassis and a complexity that you only get from bottle age. A very pretty wine.

Organic status: not organic
