Deep red with sweet red fruit aromas and simple spice. On the palate cherry fruit flavors with mineral and spice. Tight tannins, medium finish ending with earthy mineral tones. Drink now.

With Ben, Meghan and Giuseppe on a cool summer night in which I broke my own wine glass AND Ben's by a nice fire on the patio.

"I really like this!" -Me

"Nutty overtones with deep plum flavor. Oh that's pretty good! That's yummy." - Giuseppe

"Kind of astringent. I also get nutty. (G interjects he was joking about that and doesn't get nutty at all. He gets almost honey and thinks it would make a great sangria) Honeyed on the front, astringent on the end." -Meghan

"Very tanniny and dry." - Ben

"My take is that Meghan and Ben are wrong and I agree, it does taste good." -Giuseppe

"Would buy again" - Meghan

A bit too jammy at first but smooth after first few sips. Aerated first a while, would recommend the same.

Love Bordeaux - this one is mild - gives you that nice pucker but a little on the sweet side.

Big initial pow, good flavor but doesn't linger in your palette.

Easy drinking. More like a pinot than a cab. I would buy again.
