Cosentino The Dark Red 750 ML

Rich ruby color in the glass with sultry aromas of boysenberry, black currant, baking spice and vanilla. The luxuriously supple palate reveals flavors of blackberry cobbler, cedar spice and a balanced finish marked by velvety tannins.\n \n Producer Information\n Cosentino Winery is a Napa Valley wine producer that was famous for making one of the first Meritage wines, The Poet.
