This purplish-red blend of cabernet sauvignon and syrah has a very crowd-pleasing, modern nose of oak spice, including loads of clove, along with a meaty undercurrent and dark fruit. The palate is silky-smooth, with a rich mouthfeel and easy finish, but balanced. A popular style of “big wine” that is great for late-night sipping, but could also work with a good cut of beef with a red wine sauce.
