This is a wine with attitude and character. It starts with cherry compote, moist wood, and cinnamon roll. Then comes a lovely mix of dark berries – blackberries, blackcurrants, blueberries – and in the background a hint of smoky licorice and sweet tobacco. A delicious velvety wine with a long and lovely mint finish. It is impossible not to be seduced by this multifaceted wine! A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 47% and Merlot 28%; the rest Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Syrah.

Much more light and airy than I would have thought. Very little tanin, very mellow. I read up on this winery and was expecting more, this was too delicate for my tastes.

Loads of flavor immediately upon first sip. Decanted 2 hours and the wine really opened up nicely. Moderate tannins support fresh berries, currant, plum, herbs and subtle earth notes. Excellent now, will only get better with time.

Very pale color. Tight aroma...hard to get to the berries. Taste was alcohol dominant. Not well balanced. Used an aerator which didn't help much. Perhaps it will settle down with time.

Great “go to” wine flavor is fruity, but so nice. Quite smooth and so drinkable!
