Imagine a ripe bowl of cherries in the center of an old farmhouse kitchen; you get the old wood, the warmth of spice mixed with ripe richness.
The dark, brooding nose suggests black currants, chocolate, cedar, pepper and camphor. This wine is styled like a Bordeaux, with bold Cabernet flavors and a dusty sense of Italian earth underneath layered flavors of blackberry, cigar box, green herbs and vanilla. Universally liked. — 10 years ago

Dark, smoky aromas suggest prune, licorice, coconut and shoe polish. The palate is sharper than the color would indicate, while flavors of dark berry, licorice and plum vie with oak then bitterness. Pinched and tangy at points, but balanced by oaky softness. 65% Malbec with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. — 10 years ago

A bit thin but a good choice for an average table wine. Serves well for an aperitif or pairs with grilled meats or mild cheeses.
Color: open and bright garnet.
Nose: sweet red fruit, chocolate and sweet spices.
Palate: round and structured, have also fruit jelly and cinnamon notes. Finally very fresh and invigorating in mouth. — 9 years ago
