Cycles Gladiator Cabernet Sauvignon / 750 ml

A dark and brooding wine. Aromas of blackberry jam, cedar, with a hit of cardamom. Plum entry that opens up into a mouthful of black cherry Jolly Ranchers and other dark fruits. Tannins start gracefully enough and become dusty and pronounced towards the finish. There's a considerable amount of lush, sweet fruits in the midpalate that carries well into the finish thanks to a thread of acidity.
