It's a classic blend through and 12 00:00:41,973 --> 00:00:44,973 Speaker 3: through with lots of flavors of BlackBerry, a little bit 13 00:00:44,973 --> 00:00:48,973 Speaker 3: of that tobacco component that comes from Cabinet's relationship with 14 00:00:49,013 --> 00:00:53,853 Speaker 3: oak Doris, plum olive, dry torbs, smoky wood components. It's 15 00:00:53,893 --> 00:01:00,133 Speaker 3: a rich, core scented, fruit centric wine. It's utterly delicious. 16 00:01:01,053 --> 00:01:04,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds great, So what would you match this with? 17 00:01:04,133 --> 00:01:05,653 Speaker 2: It might be a good all option.
