Dark Ruby with simple aromas of dark fruits and floral spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and currants with notes of vanilla oak. Medium finish, fine tannins, easy drinking, ok for price. Drink now.

Super smooth and Rich. With lots of toasted tree nuts, black raspberries, and river stones. Classic south African juice

Quite disappointing. A bit of a muddled mess of flavors and smells with nothing really standing out or lingering. Has some earthy qualities, some wood (oak?) and dark fruit. Structure is ok, medium bodied.

This was a muddled mess. Perhaps too young. Did not love it.

Solid dry Cab Sav that pairs quite well with a meat dish. Good on the nose, easy and smooth on the palette with a nice finish.

Medium ruby with purple reflexes, the 2018 The Glass Collection Cabernet Sauvignon opens with notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry, dried herbs, earth, toast, dark chocolate and some fresh mint. Medium-bodied, with ripe, slightly rustic tannins and good flavor concentration, the wine ends with a savory finish. Drink now until 2025.
