This wine gets a bonus for venturing into new territory, aging Cab in used Bourbon barrels. The result is far from perfect, but not as gimmicky as one might assume. Aromas of leathery blackberry, cedar, roasted pasilla chile and tons of caramel lead into flavors of cocoa, coconut and caramel on the creamy, peppery palate. Matt Kettmann

Smells of blackberry and cherry, with a bit of a leathery, earthy tone. Taste has a strong cherry and cocoa mix, but is excessively bitter. It's not the worst cabernet sauvignon I have had, but it's in the running.
