Buena Visa Carneros

[Innkeeper]

Thanks hotwine. We popped it tonight, and it was, indeed, a very approachable cab with varietal notes. Got both a noseful and mouthful of black current brandy (Cassis), wonderful Carneros dirt, full bodied complexity, and smooth tannin, with a 1 1/2 alarm finish. Matched splendidly with broiled "Texas style" sirloin steaks from Omaha Steaks covered with well seasoned sauteed 'rooms, baked yellow sweet potato, and salad with blue cheese dressing. An excellent value.
