Arrowood Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

From Luke:

Last night we had the Arrowood Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon, 2004. Blended with merlot, petit verdot, and malbec, this meritage was deep purple in color and at 15.2% it stuck to the sides of the glass.

The nose was packed with dark, ripe fruit, as well as cedar, vanilla, and black licorice. The palate was similar, and had good tannin and acidity which should allow this wine to age nicely.

We had this wine with striploin and shitake demi. It was nice, but due to the alcohol the finish became a bit hot with the food, so I sipped one glass with dinner and we had the rest of the bottle after. The mouthfeel was fantastic and the long finish could be enjoyed more on its own.
