Dark ruby red. On the nose there’s a big chunk of graphite, backed up with black cherries, black currant, and sweet tobacco. Medium bodied with silky tannin. Flavors of black currant, blackberries, tea and a hint of toffee. It finishes dry with blackberries and tea.

Dark inky in color with a short rim.

Light nose of blueberries, blackberries, plums, cherries, currants, oak, vanilla, chocolate
cake, coffee, tobacco and peppercorn.

Medium bodied with medium acidity and nice legs.

Dry on the palate and fruity, with blueberries, plums, cherries, barnyard, earth, leather, green pepper, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices and black pepper.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tart cherries.

This California Cabernet is simple and unbalanced. However, it is drinkable. Nothing special on the mouthfeel either. Another year in the bottle might help a bit...

A little tart to drink by itself, but will pair better with food.

13.9% alcohol by volume.

Juicy and rich! Crowd pleaser on purpose. French varietals, mostly malbec. Definitely worth the cost.
