Earth and berry nose. Blackberry and pepper are prominent with notes of strawberry, saline mineral and butter against substantial acidity and oaky tannin. As it airs, split oak nose appears with other fleeting notes: aspirin, licorice and cocoa.

Pretty solid Catena Cabernet Sauvignon with notes of plush dark cherries, blackberries, cassis, along with cacao, tobacco and a soft velvety finish. Don't over think this, however for one of their more basic wines, it was most enjoyable.

Nose - Slightly artificially sweet, graphite, strawberry. Juicy mouthfeel, slight vegetable flavor, red fruits. Solid Tuesday night wine, but not special.

By the glass courtesy of Cathay Pacific , JFK > YVR. Freshly opened bottle. Fresh and young, full and meaty with lots of depth of flavour driven at this stage mostly by ripe dark fruits. Spice and oaky dynamics here too and sort of the wine feels made to be enjoyed young. One needs to be in the mood for juicy fruit to like this . 87-89 for us

I didn’t care much for this wine.
I find that their Cabernet Franc much better.

Velvety and soft. Medium+ body, red berries. Some dry finish. Ready to drink.
