    What We’re Drinking – Notre Vin Cabernet Sauvignon

    Color is a deep ruby, bordering on red-black. The nose is rich with blackberry, black currant, and cigar box. Black currant and blackberry lead on the palate, with floral undertones and structured tannins. Tobacco appears on the mid-palate. Fruit takes the lead in this restrained, refined wine. Drink with rack

    Red and black fruit mingle with earth and humus on the nose. The palate, too, blends red and black fruit, blackberry and raspberry, with deep earthiness and cranberry high notes. Hints of tobacco show the presence of a small amount of Cabernet Franc. Tannins are soft and light, acids pronounced.

    The aroma of violets simply explodes out of the glass. The violet carries over to the palate, where it dances with raspberries,  powdery tannins, and hints of smoked meat. This is overwhelmingly floral, with lovely red fruit and interesting tertiary flavors. Drink with beef skewers with chimichurri sauce. Highly Recommended.

    The nose is earthy, musty, mushroom and humus with cherries playing backup. The palate is more fruit-forward, with cherries and raspberries in the lead, freshly turned earth, tobacco, and mushrooms following along. Soft red fruit, complex earthy flavors, and round tannins make a food-friendly wine of great depth for the

    The nose is cherries on a bed of old leather and freshly picked mushroom still laden with black earth. The palate is musty, cherries muddles into leather, mushrooms, tobacco, and humus. The earthiness is the message with this wine - pair it with mushroom dishes. Highly Recommended. 90 points. DBH

    Black currant, plum, espresso and cherry all waft up on the nose. On the palate, loads of flavors explode, starting with black currant and boysenberry, then black cherry, with vanilla, unsweetened cocoa, tar, and nutmeg. Drink with well-marbled ribeye. Highly Recommended. 92 points. DBH WHO: Castello di Amorosa WHAT: Cabernet Sauvignon,

    Aromas of raspberry and a touch of blueberry come up on the nose. Raspberry lead on the palate, with spices, strong herbal notes and hints of vanilla. This offers layers of fruits and flavors that keep coming from attack to finish. Drink with flank steak. Recommended. 89 points. DBH WHO:

    The nose shows incredible depth and richness, with black currant, plums, dark chocolate and hints of tobacco leaf. Black currant, plums, and unsweetened chocolate lead, and brighter red fruit follows on the mid-palate, with touches of menthol and tobacco. Tannins are muscular, in this young wine that will integrate and
