This wine was sent complimentarily for review:
Nice garnet appearance with ample dark fruit aromas with plenty of ripe plum and some real nice licorice, cedar and a hint of blueberry.
Palate: good first impression with a bready/berry under layer structured on relaxed tannins with a blueberry finish.
I decanted this 2 hours before tasting and served it with a charcoal grilled porterhouse. The pairing was fine but the wine just didn't stand out. At a $30 price tag, I would expect it to give me something to remember it for. It is a solid wine, but there are innumerable Cabs out there for half the price that are as good or better. At $30, I expect to be impressed rather than taste just another "also ran!" Would be better at the under $16 price point.
