Deep ruby, almost black. I really like wines with earthy tones, so I liked this one a lot. Aromas of raspberry, and earth immediately hit the nose. This is followed by hints of pepper and vanilla. The palate had tastes of sweet red fruit, along with a bit of pepper and vanilla. The finish had quite a kick, with firm tannins and loads of lingering fruit.

Deep ruby. The nose was very nice. Raspberry and cedar, with hints of van, blueberry, and spice. The palate had lots of raspberry fruit, as well as a good mix of cedar and vanilla. The tannins were firm, and the finish long. a definite winner.

Deep ruby, almost black. A nice nose of raspberry, and plum, with hints of chocolate, spice, and vanilla. The palate was very tasty, with sweet red fruit, spice, and vanilla. The tannins were solid, with a long, fruity finish. A pretty good Cab, but not in the California style.
Deep ruby. This wine had a bit of overripeness to it. The nose had raspberry, with notes of pepper, chocolate, and vanilla. The palate had raisany tastes of raspberry, and plum. Behind that was a little spice and vanilla. the tannins were solid and the finish long. It wasn't great, but it was drinkable.
