The Big Red Monster Cabernet Sauvignon

This widely available bottling, which includes small amounts of Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot, is sure to please anyone seeking a powerful red wine. Clean lines of black currant, crushed slate, light cocoa, char and oregano hit the nose, while the palate amplifies that herbal edge, with rich milk-chocolate and black-fruit flavors. A solid grip adds to the complexity. Editors’ Choice. Score – 90. (Matt Kettman, Wine Enthusiast, Oct. 1, 2021)
