Winery Review: "With deep violet color this wine shows reddish edges, clean and bright. In the nose, ripe plum notes and blueberries can be perceived. Black fruits accompanied by a rich acidity and firm tannins can be felt in the mouth. Due to its varietal expression, it is an ideal wine to drink with all kinds of meats such as beef and pork ribs. It is also a good partner for sausages and semi spicy dishes."
My Review: I found this gem at my local Costco and was immediately drawn to it, because of the 91+ ratings from past vintages. On the nose I could certainly spot the pleasant aroma of blueberries and plum which made me even more anxious about digging in and trying this wine. On the palate this wine was even more enjoyable than I could've imagined. This Cabernet is full-bodied, but well balanced in its tannic nature for easy drinking. There was definitely some heat to this wine, but would be a good compliment to a spicy asian dish. I would buy this wine again in a heartbeat, because of its simple fruit characteristics.
