We love this stuff. So consistent. Such a great value. Deep, rich and plush. So opulent. Sweet black fruits, buttressed by formidable tannins. Excellent length on the finish. Loving this.

This was a complex jammy, woodsy and almost peppery blend. Was even better decanted for an hour. Nice finish without being tart.

Cassis black currant berry fruit with a good hand of fresh earth and tobacco spice nice complexity. Nice richness on the palate with lots of sweet tobacco spice and nice freshness big but still balanced. Excellent +

Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts (6%) of Merlot and Malbec blended in. Dark ruby color. Aromas of black cherry/currants, violets and toffee. The palate is also black fruit focused with additional flavors of chocolate, black licorice and black pepper. Touch of vanilla and fresh herbs on the medium length finish. The tannins have smoothed out and the acidity is quite bright. More medium bodied and subtly sweet. Easy drinker.
