Once again, we paired a thick fillet with a California Cab, this time a selection from the Coppola Diamond Collection, and it was a good choice.

There is a most fragrant nose, with the scent of ripe berries, and a heady whiff of black cherry in the mix. The flavors swirl in the glass, with pronounced tastes of blackberry and black cherry. The presence of vanilla and spice are also there, with a bit of polished oak at the end. The alcohol content is 13.5% and Norm's score is 88.

The winemaker describes this as a "just because" wine suitable for any occasion. I would say start with steak, then pasta, and then just because you would enjoy a glass of wine!

score: 88
price : $15 - $18
