This wine is a wonderful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.  This high quality wine brings out the best of both of the contributing grapes. 

On the nose, you will find the Cabernet Sauvignon aromas are prevalent.  This includes some leather, tobacco and smokiness with a hint of spice and green pepper.  On the front of this wine, you will taste a rush of dark fruits similar to that of a fruit foward Merlot. 

The most interesting and palette pleasing attribute of this wine is the finish.  It is long and full of flavor.  The tannins of the Cabernet Sauvignon are definitely not lacking but, the smoothness of the Merlot makes this wine complete. 

Because the flavors are supple and full, you could pair this wine with a number of different foods.  You could take the Cabernet approach and pair it with a grilled steak with sauteed onions, mushrooms, and green peppers.  Or, you could plan a romantic evening and enjoy this well structured, perfectly priced wine with dark chocolate.  The possiblilities are endless.
