Medium to deep ruby. Very dark with savory notes straight from the bottle. Dark cocoa, cloves, dark herbs and leather. Medium tannins (6.5/10) with a medium to medium plus body. Dark cocoa on the palate with vanilla, soft dark fruits, a touch smoked, and black cherries. Long finish. Definitely better on day one. Drink till 2024.

Really expecting more. Nothing wrong with it. Just nothing note worthy.

Dark ruby hue.

Aromas of bell pepper, blackberry, caramel, cassis, cherry, chocolate, leather, licorice, oak, plum, tar, vanilla.

Medium-plus body, medium tannins, plus acidity. Soft and plush on the palate, with notes of cherry and oak on an otherwise short finish. Such easy drinking.

Amazing QPR - $10 at Grocery Outlet in 2020. Solid and sessionable.

89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Malbec.

Fine for everyday. Not great. Although enjoyable, lacks complexity. Not worth the price (~$33).
