Blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby red with aromas of dark fruit, floral and toasty herbs. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and sweet currants with cacao and espresso notes. Full-body, well balanced with fine tannins on a long finish. Very Nice Value!

Inky black with long legs. Aromas of blackberries, cherries and licorice. Dry and acidic with a firm grippy finish. Will go great with red meat.

The best wine of the night came as a magnum. Dark and inky with clear cab character and probably some Carmenere in there as well, being that it was from Chile.

Deep dark red color with black and red fruit and sweet spice. On the palate blackberry, plum and cherry with a touch of peppery spice and firm tannins. Well balanced the wine needs some decanting to enjoy. Nice. Tasting Sample.

Too ripe, sweet & oaky for me. Good tannic backbone, just too ripe.
