Critic Review: " This bold and unassuming Cabernet Sauvignon with rich tannins and intense plum flavors,  reaches a peak of spiciness.  It can be paired with bold meats and rich pasta meals."

Personal Review: This wine was very, very oaky and an overall woody taste.  I really liked the taste just like most Cabernets.  This wine was aged 11 months in French Oak.
With/Without Food: I tried this without food.
