Higher acidity, not quite enough tannin balance for me. Lighter overall mouthfeel. Cherry jam, cranberry, a little earthy hint. Not bad, just needs a good fatty food pairing for the acid to cut through.

Dark fruit, a little jammy, some pepper, some tobacco. Medium to lighter bodied, lighter tannins, decent acid.

Soft, smooth, excellent.

Still drinking very well. Nice full body with a big, lip-smacking tannin backing; dark fruits with some leather and hints of tobacco, good acidity to balance it out. One of Eleven's best wines.

Quite tart, lots of fresh cranberry flavors, slight sweetness, low alcohol flavor for 11%.

Really nice, big, hearty cab. Lots of black cherry, some tobacco, some slate/graphite, hint of smoke, heavier tannins, decent balance, fills the mouth well.

Pretty bright, higher acid than expected, nice fruit forward character, tannins lighter, mellowed out after an hour. Very nice overall for sipping.

Fruity, lots of cherry, some raspberry, some jamminess. Good tannins in the back for structure, moderate acid to balance. Nice drinker by itself and good with red sauces.

Fairly dry, not much fruit that I can pick out, some complexity. It may just be that I'm not much of a rose drinker.

Deep red; dark fruits with a little strawberry on the nose, some woodsiness; medium to heavy in the mouth, some smoky notes, leather, a bit of charred dark fruit flavor that's not as bad as it sounds.

Earthy, slightly mossy on the nose, bit of harshness still there on day 2. Moderate tannins, higher acidity than expected, some red fruit, some metallic hints, balance not particularly good, but not a horrible wine overall.
