Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Cabernet Sauvignon is very nice. It opens with a black currant bouquet with a hint of pomegranate. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and smooth. The flavor profile is a mineral infused mild black currant with notes of oak and a hint of plum. The finish is dry and its moderate tannins are well-managed and stick around for a while. This Cab would pair well with New York strip steak. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Embracing the concentration of the 2015 vintage from whence it comes, this Cabernet Sauvignon is dense, powerful, and compact. Classic aromas of blackberries and black raspberry liquor are layered with sweet barrel oak and menthol. Mouth-filling, but more medium than full bodied, savory flavors of cacao nibs, dark fruits, and dried herbs are carried on the lush texture through an enduring finish.
