Wine Description: Fresh blackberry and cocoa aromas leap from the glass. Full notes of juicy dark fruit and hints of vanilla are balanced by a plush, velvety mouthfeel and smooth finish. Enjoy with roasted meats, hearty pasta dishes, bold cheeses, and dark chocolate.

Wine Folly: Cabernet Sauvignon, the world's most popular wine, a cross between Cabernet franc and Sauvignon blanc, contains notes of Black cherry, Black currant, Cedar, Baking spices, and graphite. Pairs well with rich grilled meats, Peppery sauces, and highly flavored dishes. (pg 204).

My Review: This Ruby colored wine had a very fruity aroma. I could detect notes of dark berries, but I couldn't get any notes of cocoa or hints of vanilla. The wine itself lacked flavor, however, it was neither acidic nor tart. It had a dry finish. The best way to describe this wine would be plain. Overall, I would not recommend this wine, This wine was very plain, it lacked the flavour the aroma presented.
