Upon just finishing the bottle of their Zinfandel Vintner's Cuvee XXX, I now have the Cabernet Sauvignon Vintner's Cuvee to enjoy.

Immediately, I am awestruck with the tastes of black cherries, black currants, vanilla and the oak barrel aging. While not as fruity as the Zinfandel, this wine stands out all on it's own with prominent vanilla and spice.

This wine is wonderful, and I could see it fitting nicely with some sliced cured meats, curry beef (I made curried steak last week), or spiced poultry. This actually also might be great with some spicy Asian cuisines as well.

Rosenblum Cellars is definitely stoking my interest and now I will be on a quest to try the rest of their releases.

Our Mission: The Black Winer strives to expose African Americans [and others] to wines, without the flair, stuffiness, and airs of elitism and snobbery that you get from sommeliers and high level wine enthusiasts. We believe in finding something that you like the taste of, outside of the basic brands that you have been force-fed over the years through a combination of ethnically targeted advertising, and what people in your family have historically been drinking.
