Leese Fitch Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Deep purple in color, the 2010 Leese Fitch Cabernet Sauvignon blend jumps from the glass with aromas of juicy blackberries, ripe blueberries, dark chocolate, and toasted walnuts. A lot of great Cab flavor in the mouth; black currants, ripe blackberries, dark cherry, milk chocolate, espresso, clove, and vanilla oak nuances. The finish is truly lingering with a lot of dark blue fruit notes as well as some great tannic structure and integrated French and American oak flavors. This 2010 Cab begs for a great steakhouse steak with all the trimmings. I would pair this with a classic New York strip steak with a baked potato with sour cream and chives with a side of creamed spinach. Another good pairing would be steak fajitas with guacamole, spaghetti with a rich ragu alla bolognese, or just a really good burger. I don't think you can go wrong here.
