Whether you’re looking for a great daily drinker, or you need to stock up on a great party wine, this wine will delight - without breaking the bank.
Tasting Profile
| Look: | Light garnet hues with a very slightly opaque core. Ultra-skinny legs fall from mid-way up the glass wall. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | Aromas of black cherry soda, sage, plum and dried herb lead to raspberry liquor and strawberry licorice. |
| Taste: | Savory and medium bodied with flavors of plum, dark stewed berry fruit, dried fall leaves and subtle bramble. |
| Finish: | Dark fruits tail off quickly as the wine retains its more savory characteristics for far longer. Softly drying at the edges of the mouth. |
| Pairing: | Serve this lighter-style Cabernet with a variety of hard cheeses and a charcuterie plate. |
