Country: US / Taken
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot California
Winery: Taken Wine Co. / Napa Valley
Robust, dense and meaty, this 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot dances around well-concocted swirls of black tea, herb and cedar. Soft and smooth on the palate, the oak is subtle, coaxing out flavors of tobacco and black currant, finishing with purpose.
