Winery Review: Medium red in color with ruby hues. On the nose aromas of dark red berries, blackcurrants and ripe plums

While the palate is  medium bodied, with dark red berries and a soft tannic finish.

My Review: A very complex blend due to the 4/5 majority Cabernet Sauvignon I'm sure.  Stronger and sharper on the nose than the jazz blend with hints of some berries and dark cherry.  On the palette, soft and smooth with some black cherry and plum that come out with chewing.  Slightly sweet with some acid in the younger wine.  The special characteristic to look for is a tongue numbing sensation with some oxidation in the mouth.

Tasted without food.
