Black Label Fireball Cabernet Merlot 2021

From $59.00 per 750ml

    Description

    While there is certainly a good percentage of Merlot in Fireball, it is hard to see past all that delicious Cabernet characteristics.

    The nose is opulent to say the least! Cassis and blackcurrant dominate with hints of menthol, tobacco and cigar box rounding out the swag of aroma. The deliciously sweet up-front fruit is very forward with the Merlot finally coming into play through the generous midpalate. The tannins are long and stretch out across the mouth right until the finish where blackcurrant fruits wave goodbye. This is a cracking wine and certainly is one for the cellar. Will be drinking way past 2033 if you can keep it that long!

    This is the perfect wine to pair with a lamb rack. We have suggested Fireball and lamb before but that’s because it is a good idea.
