Critic Review: The aromas are unmistakably Cabernet, bringing full-on notes of black currant along with dried herb and a kiss of spice. The flavors are ripe, luxurious and remarkably fruit forward, with the oak pleasantly dialed back. It shows plenty of richness in the middle. 9/1/2021 - 91
Wine Folly: pg. 88 The book says that cabernet sauvignon tends to have a rich flavour high in tannins. Notes of black cherry, black currant, and baking spices should come through. It's recommended to decant for 60 minutes.
My Review: It was amazing! The wine had a strong aroma with hints of grape juice, wood, spices, and berries. Flavour-wise what I picked up was that the wine was fruit-forward. Berries were what I recognized first which was then followed by the oaky flavours and baking spices. I enjoyed this wine with some lasagna soup I made. While cooking I deglazed the pan using this wine. The heartiness and strong flavours of the soup paired very nicely with the wine.
