The wine’s tint is medium dark. Its nose is even darker, with an earthiness to it that comes off as a bit brawny. There is the red fruit you anticipate, but aromas of cassis, plum, cola and strong black tea also come forward without a trace of shyness. The palate is also dark, with black and blue fruit joined by savory notes of tar, forest floor, tobacco and a sense of roasted meat. The tannins are tamer than expected in a package like that, but there is still plenty to match up against a thick, juicy steak. This wine is robust, to say the least. — 2 years ago
This six-grape blend is as aromatic as one might expect from Carménère, PV, Merlot, Syrah and Cabs Franc and Sauvignon. There is much dark fruit on the nose, along with cigar box, leather, cedar and licorice. The palate is bold, too, with a complex flavor profile and tannins which are useful but not overpowering. — 4 years ago

This wine looks medium-dark in the glass, a deep ruby color. The nose is rather rustic, especially for a Cab. That quality could possibly be due to a limited time in oak, for a Cabernet, only 8 months. There is currant in there, along with bramble and a strong minerality. The palate is on the rough’n’tumble side, with dark berry flavors and earthiness showing. The finish lingers and brings the savory side back for a revisit. — 3 years ago
Enjoyed this aromatic Sauvignon Blanc. Ripe stone fruit and easy to drink — 5 years ago
Deep ruby in color; cassis, black cherries, and graphite on the nose; medium acidity; high tannins; tastes like black plums, blackberries, wet slate, and a little eucalyptus with a long finish. I think it's good. Tastes old world to me. Nellie liked it after it decanted for an hour and I agree it was better. — 8 months ago
This Sauvignon Blanc has a New World feel to it, to be sure. The nose is a little bit herbal, a little bit floral and a little bit grapefruity. On the palate, the citrus aspect takes center stage, with a spicy element and a racy acidity. Grapefruit lingers on the finish. Pairing this wine with salads and shellfish is a natural, but it could certainly stand up to a piece of baked chicken. — 4 years ago

Deep ruby in color; bell pepper, black plums, and raspberries on the nose; medium; medium tannins; tastes like raspberries, green peppercorns, and crushed gravel with a long finish. Jason and I like it. — 4 months ago
