Winery Review: Displays deep rich blackberry and black currant flavors. These primary flavors are complimented with secondary flavors of vanilla, hints of spice, dark chocolate, black pepper, and elegant licorice and cocoa aromas. This Cabernet is full bodied with a soft finish of moderate length. This wine is at its best if enjoyed within a year of release, but should be able to age in the bottle for up to three years.

My Review: This wine is a fruit forward wine as these cabernet's are known to be like in California. The smell was an intense jammy plum with some nice creaminess deep in there. The taste was as expected with smell. It had a deep plum jam flavor with a slight chocolate taste to it. And just a tad spicy to my pallet. It had a pretty long finish as well that coats the pallet for a good while. If you let it breath though, it does open up to less plum flavors. I actually enjoyed this wine with some Drunken Noodles and it was amazing. The plum really went well with a spicy dish such as that.
