This bottle was good but a bit tired. Fruit flavors were nice and full but the oak that I remember from past bottles was light and too understated to enhance the balance. It lacked much of a lingering finish. A day later it was going down hill big time

Dusty dark berry, coffee, mocha. Good structure and decent balance. Not special but, like all CC bottlings I've had, a solid well-made wine that's a fine everyday drinker. The next level beyond the Two Vines and Grand Estates designations.

Well past its prime but still has good basic flavors with a touch of age. Medium body with a short but smooth finish

Is there fruit in this wine? Dark in color, light on the nose. Nose smells oaky. Dry and mildly sour. Dry finish. No need to get again...ever.
