Here’s a delicious, ripe style Cabernet that’s ready to drink and has enough structure to age a while as well. Vibrant blackberry and currants are joined by notes of vanilla and oak spice that are well folded into the fruit, and a bright acid kiss delivers a lip-smacking finish that keeps the flavors dancing on the palate for a good while. This is a very pleasant solo glass, or a wine to drink with bold beef preparations.
