PASO ROBLES | CALIFORNIA | $80
Forward blackberry, pomegranate and purple plum with notes of cocoa, cardamom and earth. Complex, balanced and structured, with up-front fruit, satisfying umami and firm, chewy tannins. Muscular and agile, graceful and focused — she’s a panther eyeing her menu. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. A very good wine. (Reviewed 3/3/12)
