The hosting company screwed up so now I have to rebuild all the menus.
Thanks!
When we want Cabernet, this is what we look for. Fortunately we can find it consistently well below the suggested retail of $25, otherwise we might have to ratchet down our expectations. Only slightly less of a wine than it's older sibling this wine has earned a place in my heart. Rich with nice tannins, complex flavors and aromas all wrapping up in a long, pleasant, not-too-dry finish. I haven't shared this wine with anyone who didn't enjoy it.
Notes:
Intense fruit, nicely balanced fairly young but ought to creep up on the top-shelf BV wines if I can manage to keep a few bottles around long enough to find out. Long, smooth finish with a little more zap from the tannins than the BV Reserve. I enjoy this wine so much with robust cheeses and beef that I haven't even tried it with anything else. 8/10
