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 .
