Silky smooth and youthful, especially for being a fifteen year old! He’s well-mannered, balanced, yet complexly juicy and blueberry- currant wholesomely good. Take this one home to mom, she’ll approve, even if there is a hint of herb about him.

A blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Cabernet Franc & 12% Merlot, with aromas of black fruits and fragrant spice. Plum and currant flavors, juicy acidity with vanilla, oak and cacao. Lingering finish, fine tannins ending with a dash of earthy pepper. Nice, but pricey, limited. Tasting Sample.

Dense, chewy, sweet fruit and definitely grippy. Violet and fresh plummy character. A "big nasty" if ever there was one. I wish I had more of these, but it paired nicely with a Fuente Flor Fino 858.

My guy Gary at Specs suggested this and we loved it. They are no longer carrying it though. Smooth, rich, full bodied. Drank this at home exclusively. Stan shared a bottle with Chad when Bear got sprayed by a skunk - Chad earned!!!

Leave this wine open at least one hour before consuming. Overly fruity, inelegant, acidic and astringent. Not a good choice. At least it’s an inexpensive $25 bottle.

Produced 22 barrels from 2013 vintage. This red blend combines Cabernet Sauvignon 36%, Cabernet Franc 34%, Merlot 30%. Great wine. I like it.

Plum, fig, dark ripe berries and blueberries with a lot of spice and floral notes. Dark fruits in taste

A new wine maker to me. It will greatly benefit from age. Fantastic cab flavor but harsh mid and final finish. Only 18 barrels made. Buy and age
