The wine looks ruby colored with medium legs. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry and black currant (cassis). It tastes like blackberry. The body is medium/full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium with low acidity.

I was in the CSJ wine club for a few years, most are Cinq Cepages, but I have an occasional other varietal like this Cabernet. This wine has good balance and rich flavors of dark fruits. Very smooth with a nice finish.

I’ve had this wine several times, including a blind tasting of cabs. An easy drinking, slightly soft Cabernet. A solid 90 points and a good value under $20.

A delightful wine that evolved over several days. Began with raspberry (and similar red fruit) offering a light and graceful showing on the palate and subsequently developed more familiar dark fruit. Enjoy now or hold. 91+

Medium garnet in color. Strawberry and raspberry on the palate with a touch of oaky vanilla on the palate. Soft and round on the finish
