Delicious Cabernet Sauvignon Blend! This wine is young yet so delicious! Red and dark fruit, dark chocolate, licorice, cassis, baking spices, cedar, wet leaves, and soft dusty tannins! A fantastic wine indeed!

Deep garnet color. Subtle hints of dark cherry pie filling and baking spices with some interesting earthiness type aromas. Powerful flavors of cassis, blackberries, dried herbs and dark chocolate delivered on super silky tannins. Very nicely integrated with great acidity. A great finish. Thinking about Napa tonight and pray the fires dissipate soon.
