60 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 6% Syrah, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Malbec, this wine is more demurely regal, but not too strong.  I taste more leather , slight tobacco and very little berry than anything else, but this wine is very approachable.  It is a quality wine and I do want to taste other wines by this producer, but this one didn't impress me too much.

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.
