The wine looks like a classic Napa Cabernet in the glass, with an inky black center and bright ruby along the edges. The nose presents aromas of leather, graphite, blackberry and blueberry that just beckon you to take a sip. The taste is really quite nice, with a rush of black fruit, blackberry, black cherry and some cherry cola that evolve into notes of dusty limestone and white pepper midpalate. The tannins are robust, providing for the long, smooth and exceptionally dry finish that seems to last a minute or more.
Overall, I would rate this wine a solid 8.5, it's a solid Napa Cabernet and the price was a real value at just $20! This wine would pair well with hard cheeses, pasta with red sauce, and of course a big steak! Which is what I'm having tonight, a rare grilled prime sirloin with grilled leeks and Brussels sprouts along with a big baked potato with all the fixin's! Cheers!
