Van Ruiten - 2010 Cab-Shiraz

We found this wine to be oakey with flavors of berry & spice.  It has a wonderfully deep, ruby color.  This wine reminds me of some great Lodi, CA Old Vine Zins.

What they say: “The practice of blending more than one variety of wine has been practiced in Europe for centuries and is the basis for our Cab-Shiraz. This full-bodied, yet very approachable blend is loaded with flavors of blackberries, cherries, currants, and plums; with a lengthy finish and just a hint of oak.”
