TASTING NOTES: A big, ripe nose of blackberry compote with a bit of dark forest floor piques your interest in this bad boy. Selected barrels and a limited production really showcase this Cabernet Sauvignon dominate blend. Big, bold flavors of dark black cherries, blackberry, currant and dark chocolate work their magic on your tongue while the tannin structure will keep this wine youthful for quite some time. If you are a beef wellington fan, don’t forget to use wild mushrooms in the duxelle, you will thank us later.

Score: 92

Fragrant, with blueberry-skin density, floral notes and gingery spice, this wine blends cabernet sauvignon, malbec and petit verdot into the rich savor of unsweetened dark chocolate. The warmth of alcohol drives its intensity, built for long-braised beef.
