Flavor & Winemaking: It’s like eating fruit, mostly berries, in a forest. But fruit that gets you drunk. So you end up feeling sort of like a drunk bear. Blackberry, mulberry, black cherry, fig fruit flavors are followed by rich espresso & dark chocolate-vanilla notes. Peppery spice (peppercorn medley, roasted red bell pepper, clove) and deep notes (cedar, tea leaves, roasted meat & mushrooms) give a broad and complex finish. This Cabernet was fermented with 25% whole cluster and aged on cedar & hickory woods to enhance the grape’s spicy notes.

Music Pairing: “One Chance” by Modest 
Mouse because of  the depth of  thought: we live 
once, and living it meaningfully is powerful. 
“Qi” by Phildel, a powerful piano piece. “At 
Home in the Dark” by 9 Theory, a hypnotizing 
hip-hop song.

Food Pairing: This is a steak or game meat wine (or veggie burger for the vegans). Anything with red meat, pepper, and umami notes such as stuffed bell peppers, fajitas, a cheese steak sandwich or even BBQ. Dark chocolate with cherry preserves. 

Life Pairing: Building your own furniture or engaging in home improvement. Riding a 
stallion into battle. Reading leather bound books while sitting in your armchair at your desk made of  rich mahogany. Smoking a cigar or relaxing by the fireplace.

Literary Pairing: “You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and 
you will find strength.” -Marcus Aurelius, Meditations. Companion quote: “Life isn't about 
finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”       -George Bernard Shaw
