Review:
Blackberries, black cherries, and plums mingle among expressions of earth, licorice, and tea on the nose. Plush tannis frame flavors of dark cherry, bramble berry, and black plum, along with accents of anise, tea, and minerals. Smooth but not overly fruity, it's a good buy if you enjoy Cabs with a balance of flavors..
