2015v. Dark violet. On the nose: blackberry, black cherries, rose, and black currants. On the palette, there's plenty of ripe dry black fruit, and brown sugar, vanilla, walnuts, and smoky cedar. Tannins are pretty soft for a young wine. Acidity at about a medium. Overall, a crowd pleasing wine with a lot of different flavor notes- but nothing distinctly cab jumps out. 14% ABV.

Big time cherry and cassis fruit. Tobacco and vanilla on the finish. Fruit is so pronounced that wine could be thought of as sweet. (But it’s not)

Solid cab. Good acidity and notes of cherry were prominent. Good finish.

From Teet-not bad, but not very complex and not worth the price

Nice fruit(cherry, blackberry, dark plum) and balance with a lasting tannic finish. Smooth but certainly not dull. Good depth. This wine is quite a nice value.

Dec 3rd, 2017A slight let down for the price of $17 at total wine. Strong tannins but a good nose....definitely not a lot of flavor. Tastes kind of “flat” although nice and deep. Not worth the price point at all.

Jammy full bodied red. One of my husband’s favorites. An understated cab. Would have mistaken the 2015 vintage for a Zinfandel.
