Tasted with NY Strip steak. At first, it was very closed, but then it opened up in 5 minutes, under wishful duress. Purple with the electric pink rim, it made itself known with strength and a dry finish. Any gaucho would happy with this medium to heavy bodied wine... — 9 years ago

With the outstanding aromas of pear skin and wet gravel hiding the extraordinary sweet fruit flavors beneath it, my first glass was unexpected. Lychee and melon tastes abounded with exclamation points. — 9 years ago

I enjoyed this medium bodied Cabernet with its soft fragrances and resounding taste of black berries, plums, and oak. Mild tannins disappeared into history as did the oak. Very enjoyable. — 9 years ago

9.1

I found this remarkable Chenin bursting with pears, apricots, lychee, and others with a fuller body too. It was sweet without being sugary. This is one of those bottles that sends your mind racing with the possibilities in the kitchen. — 9 years ago
