"Earthy, herbaceous notes of green olive and coriander framed by blackberry and black currants. Ripe concentrated flavors of cherry and wild strawberry follow, accented with subtle mocha, caramelized sugar and chicory notes. Medium tannin and structure, moderate acidity and a nice oaky finish all lend a hand in creating a well-rounded highly enjoyable wine."
This was my Superbowl 2013 wine! It was a very very good night. And I learned that a lot of the people at the party are also interested in wines.. a few were even in class with me! I'm planning on meeting up with a few of them to go to the wine tastings. This wine, we all agreed, was sweeter than what is normally expected of a Cab. The description even pointed out that there would be caramelized sugar.. and that's what we tasted. The strawberry and cherry was apparent, but none of the chicory, green olive or mocha. It was a very nice wine and went down smoothly. There was no bite of alcohol or harsh tannins.
