Soft with low acidity. Some dark and mildly tart fruit, a bit of earthiness and subtle floral notes. Well balanced, easy drinking. Maybe not a good offset for food

1st Place and we win.... I haven’t won for about a year on competition because I’m making changes to what I have been going with over what my instincts tell me. Have to give all the credit on this one to Jeffrey Bell at HyVee 132nd & Dodge... thanks pal. Interesting this was the oldest vintage year of the 4 tonight

Very nice blend of Cab & Merlot. Ordered by the glass ... should have done the bottle.

Bold fruit flavor, smooth finish, not too dry. Good pairing for red meat.

Fruit forward and a nice balance, not too dry, bit its too light for my palate.
