Wine Review: This midnight purple colored Cabernet Sauvignon was the winner of a recent mini tasting that we just had. It opens with a cassis and blueberry bouquet with hints of black cherry and oak. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round and savory. The flavor profile is a very tasty cassis and oak blend with notes of oolong tea. We also detected some hints of red plum and pomegranate in the background. The finish is rather dry, and its dusty tannins are last for minutes. We decided that this Cab would pair very nicely with Roy's rib roast. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Dark, luscious, and dramatically structured, this epic Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon displays soaring aromas of blackberry compote, cassis, and dark chocolate, followed by hints of tar, cigar leaf, sage and juniper berry. Lush and sensual on the palate, with excellent grip and firm, mouth-coating tannins it offers indulgent dark berry flavors wrapped around a fascinating core of umami and mineral tones that bring a sophisticated savory note to the long, generous finish.
