Very brambly with a bit of VA that blows off. Currants, plum, and blackberry. Not bad, but not great either.

Super full body and strong tannins. Very heavy bottle : ) it has blueberry but a lot of the ceder like flavors that make this more like a Bordeaux.

Dark cherry notes with a wonderfully epic oak after taste. This wine is worth the extra cash.

Boysenberry, graphite and rosemary on the palate. A little too much oak for me, but overall a nice wine that was pretty food friendly.

This is more of a cab than a merlot but still very good.
