(January 29, 2021) ... This 78% Cabernet Sauvignon / 22% Merlot had a respectable 14% alcohol - the nose kicked off with prunes, dark fruit, cinnamon, and oak; while the palate showed spiced-oak, coffee bean, and spiced-vanilla with a silky smooth delivery ... A couple hours later it began to show it's age more definitively: smooth, yes, but pruney while the oak and smoke was starting to take over.
Paired well with BBQ chicken bites and pizza - but then what doesn't?
