The 2021 C. Tarantino Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold and full-bodied experience, showcasing a dynamic mix of red and black fruits, with subtle dried fruit undertone.  The nose features red cherry, pomegranate, black cherry, blackcurrant, and cassis, complemented by oak influences of butterscotch, chocolate, and toast. The palate is full-bodied with high tannins, medium plus acidity, and a complex interplay of black cherry, cassis, blackberry, dried raspberry, cedar, toast, butterscotch, and a hint of clove. The finish is marked by lingering dried cherry and raspberry flavors, promising an age-worthy wine with excellent balance and depth.  Pair it with an eggplant Parmesan, hearty pot roast, or bacon and dried cherry crostini.
