Vintage Cellar Review:
“Fruit driven, with a nice combination of blackberry, red currant, and a background of dark chocolate and cocoa. A hint of brightness in the fruit aromas, together with the classic Cabernet depth, signals this wine’s Sonoma County roots. On the palate, dark chocolate-covered cherry flavors meet hints of mocha, and the dark fruit profile carries all the way through the lively mid-palate. The mouthfeel is soft and silky, with mouthfilling, velvety tannins that give the wine finesse and marry well with the wine’s light acidity. In addition, the mixture of French and American oak aging lends light touches of vanilla and cinnamon to this wine’s background complexity. This wine’s focused fruit profile and depth, finishing with a long raspberry note”

My Review:
This wine has a very deep red hue with a hint of purple. It has relatively thick legs. It has a sweeter scent than most reds. The sweet scent followed through to the taste. In addition to having some sweet fruity flavors, some richer tastes also were incorporated. It was a very complex wine. This made it difficult for me to really pull out individual flavors, since I’m still just starting to develop a palate for wine tastings. It had a rather tannic aftertaste. I was not a huge fan of this wine... I think my favorite part of it was its color. I really just had trouble distinguishing flavors so I couldn’t really make up my mind as to how I felt about it.

Pairings: I did not try this with food, and I’m at a
loss as to what I would pair it with.
