Good cherry flavors. Spicy start and pretty smooth finish. Not too heavy and not too light. 2012.

Enjoyable, fruity and somewhat hot right out of the bottle, but once it has breathed a bit, the nose was fresh forest floor with a nice earthiness and some spice

Tannic, even after decanting. Was good with flank steak and chimichurri sauce. Not good alone.

I love Cabernet Sauvignons, and this left me wanting. Pungent, too many Tannins even after breathing. Super high acidic content. Reminiscint of a cheap dive bar wine selection.
