This wine is a fruit forward red blend with a beautiful bouquet. The wine opened up quickly, really needing only about 5 minutes. The color seemed a combination of ruby and purple. It is a somewhat soft and easy drinking wine. I discerned a tiny bit of heat, although the alcohol is really not that high at somewhere in the low to mid 14% range. The bouquet carried a lot of fruit. On the palate I noted cherries and well...apple. This wine is absolutely ready to drink now if you have it.

Drank a Magnum with family for Easter. Agree with several others comments that the wine does not have a lot of depth, but is nevertheless an enjoyable cab. Young purple color.

Popped and decanted with a sip before, after and in between. Highly tannic, and needs lots of time to open. There are nice dark fruits hiding behind the tannins. I drank it at about the 24 and 48 hour mark and they had settled nicely by then.
