I don’t know why, but I’ve always had a soft spot for Steele. Great value for the price. Never earth shattering but never a displeasure either. The lake county cab franc is an entertaining bottle. Smells like baked cherries and spice. Has a prominent earthy, tobacco-like no with dark blackberries, dark chocolate, and a little bit of leather.

Very dry dark berry. Dirty leather and spice. Smokey tobacco on the long finish. Definitely a meat eater!!
