Tasting -Dante Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Online Review: Inspired by the wines he enjoyed while traveling through the Tuscan countryside, winemaker Michael Pozzan created Dante. This generous Cabernet is medium bodied with bright, rich scents of juicy black cherry. Flavors are ripe and supple with juicy, concentrated blackberry that coats the

mouth with moderate tannins. A real crowd pleaser, enjoy today, with Swedish meatballs or Beef Stroganoff.

My review: Here's my dilemma .. I REALLY liked this wine... thought it was absolutely fantastic.  Easy to drink, not too fruity, not too much tannin overpowering, smelled pretty earthy and nice... however... I had already had quite a few libations before drinking this wine.  I don't remember it complimenting the dessert well, but that makes sense because all of the reviews on line say it's good with something more savory and hearty.  I'm intrigued to try this wine again and see how I really like it.  If I do, I'll update this post.     

Food: Chocolate cake and flan dessert 

XOXOVINO,
