Deep red berry, saddle leather, cigar box and grippy tannins. A beautiful food wine.

Thicker fruit than the Domaine Eden, but the aroma is less intense and nuanced. Not overripe and flabby, and definitely less oaky, and more rwill check back in one year.

More California than Cabernet, but genuine intensity and integrity. Also highly transparent and high-definition. Consistently great.

As I have said before. In Bucklin we trust! Deep, rich, big, and bold wine. Very dark and purple ink, no mudding and with mild staining. Jammy blackberry with a mellow oak. Medium tannins.

Bordeaux-like barnyard nose. Excellent.

Amazing juicy rich cab. Black fruits in a big way tempered by leather and loam. Silky, rolling mouthfeel. Amazing value wine!
