Dark red/purple color. Exquisite nose featuring violets/lavender, plum, cassis, menthol and black olives. Dark cherry/plum/currant on the palate with additional notes of tobacco, dried basil and toast. Impeccable balance, nice concentration and perfectly integrated. Long finish and super soft tannins. Great example of an Oakville Cabernet. Fantastic!

Couldn’t wait… delicious and probably hold for several more years.

Oak, cedar, smoke on nose. Full body, dry, balanced. Smooth lush palate loaded with dark fruit.

Big and jammy but not overly sweet. Blackberry, blueberry, plum and light cherry. Silky tannins. Drinking great.

Fragrance is very jammy, with a rich dark color.
A nice rich flavor of dark berry, cherry, stone fruit, strawberry...with a little bit of spice. Very deep in flavor, that is full bodied and lingers on the plate nicely!

Big and jammy but not much else that really grabbed me. At least not for the $99 price tag.
