Red Wine: Parker Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, Australia

Deep red color, with a great nose of plum, dark fruit, leather and tar. Plush mouthful of plum and jammy fruits. Fine smooth finish with mouth coating fur.  A great aged wine from the cellar.

I also enjoyed a full bodied Joya De Nicaragua cigar while drinking this great wine.  A perfect pair!!!
