Most California Cabernet at this price point is fairly innocuous and somewhat lacking in varietal character, so it’s fun to run across one that is neither, instead delivering rich black fruit, vanilla, spice, a touch of dried herbs, mouth filling style, some grip and a long spicy finish. My home grilled Carne Asada is going to get some of this.
