Fantastic colour, violet and ruby. Popped and poured, nose is there but not pronounced. Would decant for 2-3 hours next time. Long finish. Lots of dark berries there. First Dominus ever drank, very nice. Not worth the price, but worth the experience.

Appearance - medium ruby colour
Nose - Modest red fruit. Some spice and oak.
Taste - Medium body. More red fruit with some plum. Spice comes through nicely and carries through the decent finish lasting up to 30 seconds.
Summary - Good value and nice refreshing red for summer bbq. Would buy again.

2005 Beringer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley

Appearance - Deep ruby. Good legs.
Nose - Black fruit with hints of cherry on the nose. Some oak there. Fills the nostrils. Good bouquet.
Taste - Blackberry and sour cherry. Not as "buttery" as the 2004, sharp at beginning but softens nicely. Nice long finish. Medium to full bodied. Fine tannins carry flavour through the finish.

Food pairing brought out the pepper in the wine. Nice compliment. Nose had good black fruits. Nice pairing. Bottle kicked alot of sediment.

decent fruit on the nose (black fruit, blackberry, hint of raspberry)....some oak. Closed on tasting, may need to open up, rather disapointing on the palet compared to the nose. Decent finish, tannins are there.
