Winery Review: Fruit driven, with a nice combination of blackberry, red currant, and a background of dark chocolate and cocoa. A hint of brightness in the fruit aromas, together with the classic Cabernet depth, signals this wine's Sonoma County roots. On the palate, dark chocolate-covered cherry flavors meet hints of mocha, and the dark fruit profile carries all the way though the lively mid-palate The mouthfeel is soft and silky, with mouthfilling, velvety tannins that give the wine finesse and marry well with the wine's light acidity. In addition, the mixture of French and American oak aging lends light touches of vanilla and cinnamon to this wine's background complexity. This wine's focused fruit profile and depth, finishing with a long raspberry not.

My Review: The fruity smell really comes though. When I tasted the wine I noticed a bitter taste towards the end. But when I tasted it for the second time I really noticed the coco flavoring was well a some of the fruit flavors. I believe that this wine would go great with desert foods or food made with a hint of coco.
