Appearance: Clear with a dark ruby purple core lightening at the rim. Aroma: Aromatic with ripe black cherry, blackcurrant and berry fruit with vanilla, cinnamon and subtle dried fall leaf accents. Palate: Classic cabernet flavors with moderate plus blackcurrant, cherry fruit and baking spice flavors on the entry. Sweet tobacco and savory herbal notes arrive on the mid-palate, along with beautifully balanced tannins that provide a structure that supports the wine through its perfectly balanced, clean finish. It would be hard to find a better go-to red wine to pair with a wide range of foods like steak, lasagna or a wood fired pizza.
