Really enjoyed this innagrual blend. Wifey wasn't drinking tonight had a sip then asked me to pour her a glass twice!! Wish I opened for a slow ox but the last glass was much better then to first glass. Juicey fruit not green at all... saying that because: A Blend of Cabernet Franc (49%), Cabernet Sauvignon (36%), and Merlot (15%).

When i pulled the foil off, you could tell the cork leaked. Had the bottle for 3 months, so when i popped it, it was corked. Very disappointed. Was really excited to try this one. Have to assume it leaked in transit and doesn't help that Florida was in the 90's in July when it was delivered. Might buy a replacement or two from WineText when it's cooler in FLA.

Good not great, wife said it tasted like a chalky prune. Decanted for 3 plus hours. Soft mixed red fruits. Short finish. Disappointed next to Frias 2020- Lady of the dead.

Drank with friends. Nice Cabernet. The resturant we dined doesn't allow you to open and decant prior to arrival. This probably needs 2 hours to open up. We were gone before the 2 hour mark. Will open another one soon at home to allow it more time to open.

Loved the nose right from the PnP. Gave me a dusty flintstones vitamins vibe. Light cherry not overly complex. Smelled better then it tasted. Gave it an hour to open. Really didn't change much other then the interesting nose blowing off. Valt bottle from Wines Spies for $20. I wouldn't buy it again.

2 hour decant, dark blue fruits but still a short finish. Delicious and tasty. Probably needs more time in the cellar. But can't complain given the price. Excellent!!!
