This extremely dark wine offers a nose of rough-hewn blackberry with a tiny wisp of freshly sanded wood. It's a fairly muscular package of aromas, and that heft carries onto the palate. It's a pleasing bunch of flavors, but I wouldn't call any of them elegant. This a Cab for a steak that's been bad and needs corporal punishment. Dark fruit plays for the front row with some oak spice for support. The fruit is fairly pure, though, and has an interesting dark flair which I find captivating.
