WineDiva's Review

Approachable, supple, brazen.
This approachable California Cabernet is laden with aromas of cassis and blueberry, vanilla, baking spices and pipe tobacco, licorice and purple flowers. It has a plush entry rolling out generous fruit. Despite being so brazen it has nice balance, is exceedingly approachable and pairs with burgers, sweet and spicy ribs, pizza, chili cheese fries or anything you can throw on the grill.


Pairs Great with Gone Crackers Roasted Shallot & Herb
 
 
Recommended Pairings
