    I love this Cab! It especially tastes good after being aerated. If you like a nice red wine this wine is for you! I have 3 bottles of this wine coming plus the aerator. I definitely recommend this wine.

    Cabs are my favorite and this one is wonderful, very well balanced with spice and fullness great with both beef provolone roll ups and sea salt dark chocolate caramels.

    Loved this wine at a recent tasting party I was at. Loved it so much I made sure to buy a bottle of it from the host. First sip was a little spicy which I didn't mind but the after taste was softer and more velvety. Definitely a complex wine that can be paired with a lot from entree to dessert. Looking forward to having it again.
