Very cabby. I expected it to age better. Still good with a bite but lacks depth.

Unpretentious. Green apples with a lemon finish. Refreshing. Medium body with good clarity.

The label is growing on me. A solid medium to full bodied red with a strong cherry nose and draw, and a hint of jam throughout. Strong legs and a burgundy color. Holds up open for a few days without degradation.

Blackberry on the nose. Excellent clarity with light red color. Light body with a bite throughout, from draw to finish. A bit peppery on the finish as well.

Very Mary. Nice cherry notes on the nose and hints of jam on the draw. Good balance and smooth on the draw. Light to medium body with good legs. Good on its own or paired with chocolate dessert.

What I said the last time still applies. Aging well though and opens up nicely. Still needs a bit more jamminess.

Goes with anything, versatile. Great balance on the sweet versus tart flavoring. Medium body with excellent clarity and notes of pear and apple.

Holds up for a week or more upon opening. Rich sweet taste with buttery consistency. A bit of sediment in the bottom so filter the last few pours. Legs of steel.

Unpretentious. Apple jamminess. Golden color. Paired with a pork chop.

Perfectly light bodies with crystal clarity and a nice cherry red color. Cherry notes with a hint of jam throughout and low tannins. Well balanced. Perfectly good on its own but great as a dessert accompaniment.

A pleasant surprise for what I was expecting, far exceeding my expectations. Cherry, dark berry nose with a jammy blast of similar flavor on the draw. Just a slight bite but the blend mellows things out. Full body with low tannins. Rich dark red color, average legs.

Same notes as the bottle I had a year ago. Still holds up with medium body and a cherry and oak nose. Tannin bite on the front end that smooths out nicely. Opens up very well. Overall, a classy cab.
