The wine is a deep, inky purple color at the center, with brighter garnet along the edges. The nose presents aromas of leather, smoke and blackberry over a hint of black pepper spice. The taste somewhat of a classic, big bold Napa Cab, with a rush of ripe black fruit up front that transitions nicely to some notes of black cherry cola and dark chocolate midpalate. The finish is pleasant, with youthful tannins and bright acidity accenting the long, smooth and very dry finish.
Overall, I would rate this wine a solid 8, it's a good everyday red wine and it was a good value at just $20 from Wines Till Sold Out. This wine would be good with steak, beef brisket, or tacos, which I'm enjoying on this Taco Tuesday. The fruit and acidity pair nicely with the spice and richness of the beef in the tacos. Cheers!
