The color of the wine is classic Columbia Valley Cabernet, deep, inky purple with bright ruby edges. The nose is a burst of sweet red fruit aromas, currant, cherry and a bit of spice over the top. The taste is really a pleasure to drink, with a bit of dark fruit up front, blackberry, plum and raisin that transitions to some spice notes midpalate, black pepper, baking spice and a bit of tart cherry. The tannins are somewhat supple, providing for a nice smooth, very dry finish. A perfect wine to sip on a summer evening!
Overall I would rate this wine a solid 8, it's a wonderful Cabernet and at a very reasonable price, as this wine is just $25, much less than the flagship Woodward Canyon Cabernet. Tonight of all things I am pairing this with a classic midwest dinner of tuna casserole! See it's not all glamour around my house, besides sometimes you just need a great wine to elevate the food you pair it with! Cheers!
