Barr Estate Cabernet 2007

This classic Bordeaux core varietal shows the aromas of cassis, mint, chocolate, vanilla and a touch of fennel and cloves.  A twenty percent addition of Petit Verdot lifts the fruit and contributes structure to the finish without the addition of harsh tannins.  With its intense fruit, moderate tannins and supple mid-body, it is an exceptional accompaniment to any meal.  Pairs well with beef prepared in a variety of cuisines from Stroganoff to simply grilled.
