Deep ruby color gets things started here, and a bold black cherry and spice nose leads to a bright, structured palate that keeps the black cherry flavors coming with a healthy dollop of oak spice that serves the fruit well. The finish is long and well folded, maintaining enough grip to make it a friend to fatty meats — grill up a ribeye with this and enjoy both items to the end. Contains 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot.
