Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Alpha Omega opens with a classic black currant bouquet with a hint of black cherry and oak. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced and smooth. The flavor profile is a mild mineral infused black currant with notes of oak and black cherry. The finish is dry and its substantial oak tannins build up and last for quite a long time. This Cab would benefit from some decanting in the near term. I would serve it with a dry aged well-marbled ribeye. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Color: deep purple with touches of mazarine On the nose: violet, dark cherry, milk chocolate and cedar with touches of blueberry, cherry pie and dark maple syrup On the palate: soft velvety entrance evolving on plums, blackberries and dark cherries with hints of star fruit and boysenberries
