A nice blend from a leading Chinese winery, a bit on the ripe fruit forward side with lots of plums, cherries, vanilla and oak, medium to full body, full of fruit with nice acidity. Long ripe fruity finish. My score 87, drink to 2022

Deep ruby. 65% CS, 35% Merlot. Deep ruby. Cranberry, cherry, strawberry. Violet. M acid, body and tannin. The red fruit turns to black cherry and currant on the palate. Long finish. Balanced.

One of the best examples of Cab blend from Ningxia China.

Hey it's Chinese new world bottle and the blend lacks terroir. Once they figure that out...it will get better.

Felt like I could taste the Beijing smog in this #wine. Guess it's the Silver Oak of China
