Tasting Notes:  The nose is all about ripe blackberry jam with a whiff of pencil wood and tar.  Enjoy deep color, and big body wine.  Ripe black fruit with a soft tannin mouthfeel.   Mid to back palate has a pleasant drying note of cranberry finishing with black coffee and tannins.  This wine needs aeration to open up. 

Food Pairings:  This Cab is a classic, well-made wine that and makes blue cheese and ribeye steak come to mind.  The smoothness of the tannins allow this wine to be sipped and enjoyed on its own.
