A very lite and pleasant expression of Cabernet with raspberry and pomegranate fruit. Good choice for someone not looking for a big bruiser of a cab. More subtle for the summer.

Lighter bodied cab, nice red fruits and spice, soft tannin and some acid to hold it all together. Charming and great for the table

Needs to breathe for an hour or two to take the edge off the acidity. Otherwise pretty well balanced, if a bit uninteresting.

Light for a cab. Maybe a taste of apple. Low acidity.

Tastes of plum with medium tannins. A spicy red that would pair well with BBQ
