Was not a fan of this vintage. Granted it is pretty young, I was hoping it would improve after sitting a bit. Not much. If purchased again, this would sit on the bottom shelf for a couple years. — 4 years ago

Bold and crisp with a nice finish and mouthfeel. Aerating it helped somewhat and revealed some of the blackberry tones. Drank it alone at first and very much enjoyed the rich flavors. — 6 years ago

8.5

A light blackberry nose, but has a fairly strong oak and fruit (cherry?) finish. Light and crisp, it's a nice cabernet to pair with just about anything. Not overly complex, but I like it enough to put it on the list during the next wine run! — 6 years ago

Quite acidic until it warms. Then, your palate opens with a slight floral tone and full body towards the back of the throat. It is nicely crisp. Flavor is slight but effective. — 6 years ago

Sweet and acidic. Light on the nose. Prefer a bolder drink, but this may find it's way back on the rack. — 6 years ago
