Medium to dark purple with minimal garnet. Dirty medium fruit and cedar. Palate is cedar and cherry cranberry with a hint of mint. Good acid and fine tannins for a long finish.

The window on this is probably accurate. It’s in an unbalanced phase right now. Persimmon nose, but sour on the front palate, and then the finish is stewed stone fruits. If you drink it right now, decant.

Ruby, medium legs, light sediment. Aromas of blackberry, raspberry, oak, black pepper and vanilla. Flavors of blackberry and raspberry. Medium body and finish, low acid. An overall decent, varietally correct Cabernet. Purchased at $12 on sale via a wine club; considering that current price is about $24, seemed to be a good value. Would buy again, but at the $15 or less price range.

Deep ruby in color with aromas of ripe plum, baked blackberry, black cherry, coffee, cigar box and licorice. Palate - dry with med-high acidity, full-bodied and soft tannins. Flavors of espresso, vanilla, black olive, baked blackberry, tobacco, licorice and mint. Medium finish. The smooth tannins are an indication that this wine is made to drink now rather than cellaring for any length of time.

A bit past its prime.

Better than expected, especially the second day. But nothing special

Nice, drinkable cab. Good now and for at least two more years.

Underwhelming. Hopefully just that it's too young.

Nice wine, a favorite blend, but nothing special.
