AQUINAS 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon

WOW!  I don't remember ever having a $10 cab this rich and well-balanced.  In fact, I don't remember having many $30 cabs of this quality.  Grapey purple hues with a nose of pipe tobacco and dark bing cherries, which give way to fig jam and dried cranberries on the palate.  A nice core of brambly fruit is backed up with strong cherry cola elements and a fabulous velvety mouthfeel.  Slightly short finish, but  more than acceptable, and de-lish with Duck with Port Cherry Sauce .
