If you are a fan of the fall spices — clove , cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.— you will find them in full force in this lusty wine. Fear not, for there’s plenty of bold fruit character to stand up to the spice load. I find wines with bombastic personalities like this one difficult to pair with food, but as a solo glass there is a lot to love here. Contains 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Malbec, 9% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot.
