Top Notes For

8.8

A nice Cabernet Sauvignon based red blend from Paso Robles. Showing black and red fruits with earth, wood, spices, peppercorn, chocolates and tobacco.

Dry on the palate with medium acidity.

Nice and engaging, and a good food wine too.

A little harsh right now, and will be better in a year or two.

13.9% alcohol by volume.

88 points.
