Winemaker Notes: 

"Alluring aromas fill the nose with vine-ripened wild blackberry woven with mocha and dark chocolate. The velvety entry reveals dark-toned fruit bathed in rich mocha and dark chocolate oak notes, similar to those found on the nose. A luscious blend of boysenberry, black currant, and dark plum fuses with the oak laced flavors, vibrant acidity, and spicy cedar texture as the wine lingers. Delicious now, this Cabernet-based wine benefits from decanting, and will continue to mature with additional bottle aging." 

Pairing Suggestion: "Enjoy pairing it with a juicy New York steak with creamy peppercorn sauce, or rosemary and garlic encrusted rack of lamb served with wild mushroom risotto."
