Two years before this Cabernet is properly aged and still an amazing wine, great vintage and full bodied and smooth to go down. Buying this to age and see its full potential in two years!!

Juicy and fruity but some spice and smoke keep it decent.

Excellent wine, complex bouquet. Goes well with Red meat grilled on BBQ.

Fruitful berries with a slight oakie finish and mild tanins. Good for the price @ 6.99

A nice dark red color with a light red rim and medium intensity.

Strong nose of plums, licorice, cranberry juice, green peppers, oak, cherries, currants, chocolates, metals, dirt, vegetables and black pepper.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and nice legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with plums, cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, earth, bitter herbs, vegetables, green pepper, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices and peppercorn.

Medium finish with smooth, round tannins and black pepper.

An earthy Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon that drinks nicely now, while still young. Simple, but with a personality. Had it by itself, and it will work well with chicken dishes too. Will be better in a couple of years, though.

13.5% alcohol by volume.
