- Brick color and aromas of black currant and has flavours of black currant and strawberry jam - A nice dark purple color. Aroma has hints of fruit, though I found it non-distinct. Taste has flavors of strawberry jam and a hint of black currant; however, the finish is a bit sour.

What to say but this is very opaque and purple in color.
Nose: Dark fruit, cassis, cherries maybe, some oak, with hints of eucalyptus, and a wee tad of chocolate.
Taste: Quite a dense and fulfilling drink. We got dark cherries, cassis, some smoke, and a little herbaciousness to the taste. It definitely shows off its tannic structure! Ya know there’s not a whole lot of middle to this. It’s up and down…..Wham bam thank you ma’am!
This is a good everyday wine, didn’t wow either of us, but good and enjoyable anyhoo.

From a Tasting Room 50ml bottle. Nose: Light expressiveness, black cherry, raspberry, and vanilla - nice but weak. Palate: Medium-full bodied, sweet and spicy dark fruit attack, menthol, smoke shows up mid-palate and builds in intensity thru back-end. Finish: Medium-plus length of smokiness with undertones of dark fruit.

Decanted for about 30 min...Paired nicely with lamb chops...muted dark fruits on the nose...sour cherries and dark fruits on the attack and mid-palate...nice finish but too oaky for my taste.

A fairly nice Cab for the $13 paid for it. Nice color and aroma, though the finish was not quite balanced and ended rather quickly.

Fair. There are much better Cabs at this price point.

Full-bodied with jammy, juicy, and tart notes of blackberries, black currants, black plum, vanilla, spices, and a short, dry finish.

kind of netural on this, thought it would be a good every day pour but it was thin, not offensive just kind of there
