This medium bodied, drinkable Cabernet shows fresh herb and spice notes in the nose, with juicy flavors of plum, currant, and berries on the palate. Smooth and supple in texture, with toasty oak, spice and licorice characteristics in the finish. Versatile and flavorful, it will complement many hearty dishes such as grilled meats, tomato based pastas, roasted garlic pizza, sauteed mushrooms and polenta dishes.
