Wine Enthusiast review: This wine is deep, with aromas of blackberry, Olallieberry, toasted oak, dried coriander, and notes of dark chocolate on the nose. The flavors on the palate are Boysenberry, black licorice, orange zest, black peppercorn layered with dried herbs, and a juicy dry finish. Pair with your weekday take away - T.P. (91 points)
Wine Folly: pp 89 and 292, Cabernet Sauvignon from North Coast, CA. I could definitely taste the acidity and blackberry notes. I also could perceive the black currant, black cherry smoothness, and minerally character. I did not note rustic tannins, graphite, cigar box, or mint though.
My Review: After decanting, I found this Cab both smooth with cherry and chocolate sweetness and a slightly acidic aftertaste. I could smell toasted oak a peppery flavors, but the taste was mostly dark fruit and chocolate. Full-bodied with complex flavors made for a quite enjoyable experience.
Food Pairing: Paired nicely with a homemade chicken and vegetable dish.
