CAB05F

Blended in the tradition of France with Cabernet 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc, the wine presents with a rich, layered nose. Strawberry, cherry, and blueberry move into notes of spice, clove, and smoky cedar. A soft palate of ripe red berries with hints of orange peal, earth, and pepper is balance by a nice acidity. Grill up some succulent short-ribs, and enjoy a bottle.
