Cabernet Sauvignon is still the king of red wines, and renditions like this one serve as exemplars. Of course, there’s a wide stylistic range possible with the variety. This falls near the center of the spectrum, with a mix of black and red berries, gentle oak toast, soft pepper, supple tannins, and a long finish where all the elements are well knit together. It’s light enough to pair with chicken or pork and will also work well with beef dishes. Nicely done, particularly at this price point.
