Winery Review: "Black ruby color. Aromas of compressed watermelon, pickling spices, and black tea with a satiny, vibrant, fruity medium body and a smooth, interesting, medium-lengthy berry compote on vanilla gelato and tobacco finish with heavy oak flavor. A rock solid fruity and oaky Cabernet for anytime". Wine critic 2019. 

Wine Folly: "The world's most popular wine is a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc that originated in Bordeaux. Wines are concentrated and age-worthy. The rich flavor and high tannin content in Cabernet Sauvignon make it a perfect partner to rich grilled meats, peppery sauces, and dishes with high flavor" (pg. 189 online book).

Personal Review: This wine was actually quite tasteful. The fruity sweet taste was delightful, and it was a smooth finish. The unique aroma caught my attention, and the taste did not disappoint. The smooth finish did come with an oaky aftertaste, but it was not over the top in my opinion. Overall 7/10.
