1 person found it helpfulMay 15th, 2017Garnet color with black fruits, graphite, damp earth, dried savory herb and cedarwood aromas. On the palate medium-bodied, but feels lean. It's fresh and elegant with black currant, blackberry, and a bit of plum flavors with a bit of blueberry peaking through given some time in the glass. Very satisfying finish. Blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon/25% Merlot; 13% abv

Lovely, funky, berry Bordeaux. Classic Pauillac. Surprisingly drink-ready at 7 years.

69% Cab S 31% Merlot. Forgive my youth in not waiting for a wine to open up. I wanted to write a scathing post on how unexciting the first minutes of this wine were, but this wine has a nice richness to the aroma and the blackberries hold some subtle red spice to it like chili flakes along with those faint pyraziney jalapeño notes. Nothing wrong or special with this wine, but it makes me happy that it pairs well with a Wes Anderson movie somehow.. deep yet limited complexity👍🏼

Ruby red color with cherry and other red fruit notes. Lacks a little complexity but drinking nicely.
