50+4+10+12+3 Thin ruby color, not much nose, over oaked with sour cherry, even for the price just not a really enjoyable wine. If you are sitting on bottles, drink up, this one isn't going to get better. I won't buy again, just way too much oak.

I got some obvious blackcurrants on the nose due, no doubt, to the Cabernet Sauvignon (78%). The rest of the blend is Merlot, Malbec, and a touch of Cab Franc. Soft tannins. Bit of caramel at the end. All in all, a delightful wine that I found to be well worth the modest price.

Had a blind wine tasting, 12 out 14 people like this better than the Becker Claret. It is good wine, nice blend. Not too powerful but a good everyday wine. I think most people would like it, but a serious oenophile probably would want more.

Nice balanced nose with red fruit. Somewhat light bodied with no obvious flaws. Improved after 45 minutes in the glass. Reasonable value.
