Simple nose of dried plum, forest berries, clove, and vanilla bean. Rich and round, with a touch of heat. Oak driven spice meets ripe dark berries and currant fruit. Drink now. Pair with a fire and dark chocolate.

Great value at $25. Needed about 20 mins of air before coming together. Brambly fruits and silky tannins.

This is a really delicious Cab. Not quite as dry as a cab from Napa. It has wonderful cinnamon and nutmeg flavors mixed with some black really nice berry. Reminiscent of a Zin, but you are reminded it's a cab with its long, perfectly balanced, tannic finish. I wish I had purchased more than 1 bottle when it was available.

2012 vintage. A bit ripe/jammy style but pleasant.

2012 vintage, 15% alcohol. Fruit-forward and jammy, a sexy Cab for the New World.

Another one from this past weekend. Very good despite the heteronormative label art

Great Cab Sauv with a slight pepper on the backend.
