Current Price:

This is a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Petite Verdot, and 13% Syrah,  The bottle lists 15.7% abv.  The wine is purple, opaque and bright.  The nose is nice with cassis, black raspberries, slight plum, baking spice, and interesting pine note.  Full bodied.  Medium to firm tannins.  On the palate, this is a "jammy" wine.  Lush flavors of black raspberries, cassis, and black cherries with some char.  Long finish.  This drinks well on its own and would work well with big flavors.  This would be a nice choice with spicy Indian cuisine.  Drink over the next seven to ten years.
