Natalie's Score: 91/100

Smoky campfire aromas on the nose. The palate is round and supple with lots of sweet chocolate and mocha notes. Cannonball (on the label) represents freedom: the child with legs tucked up underneath him as he dives into the water. Lots of fleshy ripe black fruit here in this big Californian Cabernet. Full-bodied with some herbal notes. Lots of mocha, cocoa, cola, and smoke from generous oak aging. Good tannin structure and balance. Pair with Beef daube.

Reviews and Ratings

Melanie Aubert rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A smokey cab sauvignon from Sonoma. Good body, good acidity, med tannins, all well balanced. Fruit + smoke = easy drinking!
