The nose of this wine has a dark berry aroma that is just yummy. And, that yummy nose follows to the taste. This is one delicious wine. A mixture of red and black berries leaning toward the red, just swarm the palate. There is a hint of sweet raspberry with a touch of oak that is oh so tasty. The mouthfeel is very smooth and elegant. If you are a Cabernet Sauvignon fan, pick this up. If you are not – still pick this bottle up because, you will fall in love with this tasty Cab.
In Michigan, the only store you will find it is the Fine Wine Source in Livonia. The store is located on Middlebelt near Six Mile Road. The bottle will run you $39.00 a bottle. Believe me – it is worth every penny and more. It has been a few years since I have had a bottle of Quintessa but, this reminds me of that and it costs around $110.00 a bottle.
I am calling Jim at the Fine Wine Source tomorrow and ordering a six pack.
The Cigar
Kristoff Maduro
This is one of my favorite cigars and my favorite to go with a bottle of fine wine. So, this is the moment to light this baby up.
Wrapper: Brazilian Maduro
Fillers: Dominican, Nicaraguan
Made with ligero tobaccos
Size: 6.5 x 56
My Strength Rating: 6
This stick is just sooo tasty. It has a deep medium roast coffee and dark chocolate profile. There is a nice spice presence with a white pepper dusting to make things interesting. If you pay attention there is a hint of bing cherry on the undercurrent.
Looking at the word description of this cigar you should see that it is a perfect fit for a quality Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Pairing
This is just one yummy pairing. The roasted coffee and dark chocolate notes mingle so well with the red and black berries of the wine. The hint of oak picks up a bit while maintaining that smooth and elegant texture. As I approach the end of the cigar and the bottom of the wine glass a little sadness sets in for this excellent pairing. I will be enjoying these two together again and soon.
