Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec & 2% Merlot, Dark Ruby with aromas of ripe juicy berry fruits, floral herbs & spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry & black currant with vanilla, oak and smoky notes. Well balanced, fine ripe tannins medium+ finish ending with fruit, tobacco, oak and minty spice! Nice now and some aging potential.

Black fruit, jammy, smooth tannin structure, some jalapeño and minty with oak....very easy to drink and not terribly complex...

Black currant, cedar, leather, cocoa nib and green bell pepper notes supported by supple tannins and med acidity.

So this magnum just happened. Gas leak nose! Pyrazines and soft earthy berries. Mature, complex, finishes confidently.

Medium-bodied cab. Dangerously easy to drink even without food. Great pre-dinner wine.

Really delicious. Oak, tannin, structure, all while drinking very smoothly
