88 Points and one Puff - Connoisseur's Guide
"There are suggestions of complexity to be found in the midst of the sweet, well-ripened, oak-enriched aromas of this wine, and those same notes of black soils, minerals and root-beer spice are carried through to its fairly rich and slightly succulent flavors. No frontal simpleton despite being easy to taste now, its finish is both rich and lengthy. It may not be one for hiding away for a years to come, but it has the pieces in place to develop quite well for up to a half decade in the bottle." - Connoisseur's Guide
This vintage continues Smith & Hook's legacy of great Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep ruby in color, it elicits aromas of rich dark fruit, clove and cedary spice. Notes of black cherry, cassis and raspberry are followed by nuances of bell pepper and cocoa. This wine is lush and textured, with gripping tannins, well-developed acidity and a lingering finish.
True to its ranch roots, this wine is a great match for red meat. Hearty dishes such as braised bone-in short ribs with cheesy creamy grits make for a delicious pairing.
