I'm impressed with this wine. The "by the glass Bordeaux" category isn't exactly huge, or even in high demand, but it's exciting to find one. A waft of bright fruit, punch of tautness, earthy, and just all-around solid.

Super smooth and dry. Tart and tastes of something like black berry.

Good value to be sure. Bright and a little earthy. The cab franc really fleshes the wine out. New oak, which became more apparent after decanting. Dark berries and cherry.

Good Value. Dry not fruity. Lots of tannins. Wondering if they would Mellow in a couple of years.

Complex, smoky, almost charcoal fire nose. Dark ruby color. Light fruit and nice finish. Great bordeaux. The wine cafe $13.99. 14%.

Decent all things considered. 2010 was a good year but tannin is still overly done against the fruit
