Deep Ruby with aromas of black fruits and pronounced earthy spice. On the palate plum and blackberry flavors with pepper and herb spice, lively acidity. Big firm tannins on medium finish ending with toasty oak and earthy character. Drink now, tried twice, second time was better.

Very nice blend, cab heavy. Needs time to open but then the structure is lively with nice fruit and a good finish. Easy drinking.

Heavy flavors! A bit too sharp on the pallet.

I think itโ€™s delicious. Smooth, full bodied, with some character.

Cab is stronger in the blend. The berry notes hit different on a Friday evening after a 3 hr concall ๐Ÿ˜‚

Loads of mocca, red and black fruit. Enough acidity to keep it interesting and alive.
