Holden Manz 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon

This Cabernet Sauvignon is bright ruby in color with a purple edge. On the nose, is moderately intense filled with notes of blackberry, blueberry, pencil shavings, pipe tobacco and lesser notes of cassis. A whiff of dried pine needles and cedar complement the magnificent fruit and hints of five spices. An elegantly textured palate with a complex array of fruits. The middle palate is full and shows width with complexity and depth leading to a long, full finish. Fine tannins combine with well balanced acidity. Pair this wine with wood grilled steak with Lyonnaise potatoes. Thyme roasted wild mushrooms and grilled polenta. Or even a burger!
