Supple on the palate considering its youthfulness. Lots of coffee, mocha, chocolate, and vanilla character from the oak, but doesn’t get overbearing. Typical ripe black fruit. Sits at 14.5% alcohol. However, you don’t feel the weight. Well made for sure, but nothing unique.

A nice medium bodied Cabernet, this wine is on the oaky side but opens up with a bit of decanting. The predominant flavors are cherry and oak, with bright acidity.

Mellow blackberries and raspberries, along with a musty, earthy smell on the nose and palate. Not a very old Cab Sauv but tannins that we’re softer, not yet a full velvet but close.

Ripe fruit, juicy and full bodied, medium tannins but smooth with a pleasantly lingering finish.

2015 Was ok, mild tannins, oak and berry flavors. Like a bit more depth for a Cabernet.

Oaky and earthy, but smooth enough to drink by itself
