Tooth and Nail (by Trefethen) "The Possessor" Red Wine 2016 (Paso Robles, CA)

Winery Tasting Notes: A beautiful full-bodied Cabernet Blend Red currants, cassis and red fruit dominate the nose while nuances of Christmas spice, pine and dried fall leaves add to the intriguing aromatics. The layered palate offers great weight and density with ripe flavors of black berries and plums. The surprisingly bright acidity and mouthwatering texture weaves into a firm finish with lingering tannins.

Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points: “Dark and meaty in the glass, this blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 10% Petite Sirah and 6% Syrah offers aromas of blistered blackberries and leather on the nose. It's big on the palate, with strong tannins and a heavy mouthfeel, delivering flavors of roasted blackberry, black plum and beef jerky."
