Clos Du Bois Briarcrest

The 2012 Briarcrest combines complex structure with elegant fruit and stellar varietal appeal, making it as much a cellar selection as a natural fit for today's table. Inky ruby red in color, on the nose it shows rich aromas of blackberry and black currant, with notes of cedar and toasty oak. On the palate, the wine delivers juicy black cherry, plum, and black coffee flavors, with big, chewy tannins before a lengthy finish.

Cabernet Sauvignon pairs nicely with foods high in fat and protein, including steak, duck, and game. It's a great complement to hearty stews, ribs, and dark, rich sauces.
