Very dark red, nose of cassis, blackberry to about an hour to develop. Ripe dark berry fruit, some leather/cedar, full body with medium length soft fruit laden finish. Although much less expensive than the Estate cabernet sauvignon it doesn't come close to that standard.

opened 2 hrs not decanted; too dark to see through the glass, red rim; nose of cassis and fresh oak; overripe berry/ black plum fruit not well delineated, focus on concentration and power, not specificity of site or variety; med heavy palate and med alc finish similar to popular cults; thick feeling "too young to drink" finish. Seems to be aimed at a different audience than the flagship wine.

Dark inky color. Dark fruit and earth aromas. Blackberry, earth, and coco flavors with medium body and lengthy finish. Very pleasant but not much character.

Another fantastic bottle - a real polished Cabernet.

Delicious bottle of Cabernet - dark fruits, cassis, a hint of warmth but punching above its weight class. In a nice place now.
