Mission Briefing
Symmetry
With fall here - and winter just around the corner - we are now officially in Cabernet Sauvignon season! And what better way to celebrate than to do so with a balanced, beautiful and budget-friendly Cab from our old friends, Wise Villa?
Today’s Wise Villa Winery 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine that shows terrific symmetry, with fruit, earth and spice in harmonious balance. On the nose and on the palate, this wine possesses plenty that pleases.
Blackberry candy and spiced cherry lead the lush nose. As the wine opens up, it reveals tobacco, sweet spice, black cherry, leather and vanilla. Balanced and darkly juicy on the palate, with black cherry & blackberry compote, baker’s chocolate, spice box, cedar, cassis and black pepper.
