About the Wine: Cabernets and Cab blends generally hold up well to and improve with aging. It is therefore surprising to see a Cab blend marketed this young. Most decent wineries will hold their Cabs back for a while before releasing them to allow full development.
About THIS Wine: It is deep purple in the glass with a garnet rim. The nose is rich with smoke, leather, spice, and black cherry. Jammy raspberry and cherry are thick on the palate and linger before blending into a mildly spicy finish.
Drinking This Wine: Sip it or have it with lamb, barbecued ribs, or some other juicy meat with sauce. Or put it on its side in your basement for a year and open it then. It will improve.
Overall Impression: A good wine with the potential to improve with time. This wine is a great value.
