Ruby with a medium+ intensity of red and black fruit aromas. A blend with 60% Cab Sauv, flavors of black currents, cherry and blackberry flavors with notes of espresso and cacao. Youthful big tannins with vivid acidity. Medium finish ending with fresh fruit, good now but should improve a bit over the next 3-5 years. Tasting Sample.

Required a lot of air prior to drinking. Open at least 2 hours before drinking, decant if possible. Nice body, good aftertaste.

A very simple Bordeaux blend. Aroma of dry aged meat. Tart, fruity flavors open up to a very delicate mix of cherries and pomegranates. Needs to breathe.

The 2016 is more robust than the 2015. Cranberry, raspberry, and leather. Hard to beat being on sale for $14.
