I've so far grown to like a lot of the Cabernet that I've tried lately, and this one was no exception. It had a darker red color than most other wines I tried in the evening, and smelled very fruity with that "dark berry" smell I can never truly find a good word for. I really need to work on my ability to smell. Anyways, this wine did not taste nearly as fruity as it smelled, and was very bold with a lot of tannic structure and a heavy bite. I also happened to have this with some cheese ravioli, which really helped bring out more of the bitterness in it. In the end though it had a nice balanced finish which was refreshing for me.
