Wine Review: This clear and dark ruby colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Risk opens with a black currant and shoe leather bouquet with hints of graphite and blackberry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The flavor profile is a cedar influenced black currant with notes of black pepper and star anise. We also detected hints of Dr. Pepper and mulberry. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and fine tannins linger and last for quite some time. We would pair this Cabernet Sauvignon with a filet with hollandaise sauce. Enjoy - Ken & Mark
Winemaker Notes: Our Oakville, Napa Valley wine is handpicked from the vines. We ferment in small lots and then age in New French oak barrels for 18 months. This wine has concentrated layers of black fruit, coffee, and dried herbs. The polished tannin will make this a great wine to cellar for the next decade.
