Cosentino

The Cosentino Cigar Zin shows intriguing flavors of ripe berries, dried herbs and sweet earth; lots going here in this complex mix of nuances.

BRONZE MEDAL, 2005 SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE WINE COMP. Up-front and sturdy, the full-flavored '01 Cosentino Cabernet offers a full regiment of deliciously ripe flavors; excellent with grilled beef.

"The Franc" is a very rich red with loads of ripe fruit flavors accented with a fair amount of oaky sweetness.

The Cab is a big Cabernet, with black fruit flavors that are complex and strengthened with a good shot of smooth tannins.

Lands on the palate with excellent power and depth of fruit; loaded from start to finish with big thick, ripe raspberry fruit.
