The wine is a deep ruby in the glass with nice legs. The nose is classic Cabernet, with rich black and red fruit notes along with some nice toasted oak and spice notes. The taste is lusciously fruit forward, with blackberry and plum bursting forth, then a smooth transition to some warm spice notes of vanilla, cocoa powder and a hint of anise. The tannins are well integrated and provide a nice backbone for the long, dry and velvety finish that seems to last until you take another sip.
Overall I would rate this wine a solid 8, as it's drinking quite nicely now, but could definitely mature over time, and at $25 from Wines Till Sold Out, I'm having a tough time deciding which of these wines I like better! Tonight I am enjoying this with a simple meal of grilled New York Strip, some steamed jasmine rice and some asparagus, as this Cabernet is a perfect grilled steak sort of wine. Cheers!
