If you noticed, I just reviewed the current vintage of Chardonnay from this producer, and now, it's the Cab Sauv that I am doing.  This wine is nice, with a great nose of tobacco and leather that I can smell even through this stuffy nose of mine.  The mouth/weight of this wine is middle of the road, but there is a lot of blackberry and currant comprising the flavor with just the faintest aspect of cocoa.  The finish rounds out with the immediate distinct flavor of dark cherries and then mellows out for another twenty seconds.

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.
