Winery Review: "Silky, not too heavy, balanced tannins, a real pleasure to drink. 3.5Very drinkable. Fruit forward. Low tannin and acid." (April 2020)
Wine Folly: The rich flavor and high tannin content in Cabernet Sauvignon make it a perfect partner to rich grilled meats, peppery sauces, and dishes with high flavor.
My Review: I really enjoyed this wine, it was dry and rich but not over the top. I tasted the dark sweet blackberry taste as well as some smoky tobacco flavors. It felt velvety going down and left a dry taste in my mouth afterwards. I would drink this with a steak dinner but not on its own. I drank this with my family and we had steak, potatoes, and Brussel sprouts with it.
