The 2022 Cabernet is a bold ruby color in the glass, with an initial waft of fine leather on the nose. With more swirling the fruit aromas show up, cherry, plum, jammy currant, followed by spicy cinnamon, clove, licorice and a faint smell of hickory wood. On the palate, smooth and soft, with dark cherry, plum compote, and blueberry, all building towards a sprinkle of cocoa and moderate tannins on the lingering finish. Pair this with a traditional French beef stew.
