Ripe black fruit, lots of minty notes, tobacco and smoke. Great stuff!

Always likes this, very good take SA take on a Bordeaux blend (you'd almost think it was blind) palate has touches of green bell pepper and black chocolate. Not really the time of year for this sort of thing though!

Strong fruit bouquet of raspberry, currants, tobacco, coffee, and cedar. Very perfumed. And yes! Tobacco, cedar, and raspberry notes abound, low tannins, juicy, and smooth. Oh boy does this go down easily! And $19 is a deal. Love this!!!

2018 Vintage is a Merlot/Cab Franc blend aged 16 months in French oak.
Nose: plums, black raspberries, black pepper and green bell pepper
Taste: everything on the nose, plus a bit of strawberry and something indescribably floral
Medium-high tannins, long finish.

Very Bordeaux’ish with cassis, cigars a bit of dark chocolate and a mental whiff. On the palate balanced and ripe, with good acidity and smooth tannins. A bit too woody though. And overall slightly monotone- missing the freshness and nuances. A solid if slightly ordinary wine.
