Wine Review: This slightly opaque and dark red colored Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Leonetti is Excellent! It opens with a fantastic cassis and black cherry-cola bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, very well-balanced and quite smooth. The flavor profile is a delicious black currant and black cherry blend with nicely integrated oak. I also detected some hints of blueberry as well. The finish is dry and very very extended. The impressive red wine would pair perfectly with a well-marbled ribeye. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Color is deeply saturated ruby. Our flagship '15 Reserve has an explosive nose of vanilla, lavender, cinnamon graham cracker, and puree of ripe brambles. Time in the glass reveals secondary notes of cedar and strawberry rhubarb pie. Seamless tannins and incredible length. With a finish resembling cherry liqueur, the Malbec brings the wine into tight focus.
