A wine that didn't quite fit the bill, perhaps a better match would be a Washington cab sauv. I've been on a zin kick lately, and I'm not sure if this wine had enough zin to satisfy my cravings. The fruit was plentiful, with flavors of cherry, blackberry, and plum, but unfortunately, it lacked the nuance and finesse I've come to expect from a cab sauv. It was served with a steak dinner, which added to the meal's broadly flavor profile. I'm not sure if this wine was a good fit for my taste buds, but I'm willing to give it another try.

Complex, compelling wine with layers of BlackBerry, a gentle peppery note, and a dry finish.
