Tasting Notes
If you see this on the shelves at your local TJs, do yourself a favor and buy several bottles! It punches well above its price point, is packaged in a classy bottle, and is incredibly drinkable without being boring.
This wine is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Syrah. It's not overtly bold or complex but it is very well balanced. It is ripe fruit-forward with notes of oaky vanilla mid-palette and finishes with a refreshing splash of tart cherry. Super smooth and would make a great table red wine that goes with almost any occasion.
If you like really bold cabernets but are looking for something interesting but a bit less intense, give this a try.
