And if there was a wine to legitimize the Bourbon Barrel aging trend... So this guy was pretty surprising! Sweet fruit palate, medium to light body, quite lighter than expected, but bourbon flavors explode on the palate. Vanilla, oak, sweet woody flavors, caramel, molasses. On the ultra new world side for sure, but damn if this wasn't an awesome wine for the price.

This is a surprise. And a pleasant one. Extremely smooth, medium bodied, long pleasant finish. Very round and full in the mouth but without the strong tannins that can accompany some nice cabs. If you can find it, try it! Like a BIG Merlot with deeper fuller fruits.

Smokey tobacco and earthy oak flavors. Tart black berries and quite a spicy aftertaste. Very intense flavor. Heavy body. Medium tannins. Very dark color, almost brownish purple.

A little smoky for my taste. Rich flavor with a warm finish. More tannins and not much fruit flavor in the finish. Would pair well with steak.
