It’s a very nice wine. Incredibly fruit forward, bursting with cherries, vanilla, red fruits, plums etc. tannins are well and truly in check. Lacks a bit of dimension / elegance I’d expect at this price point.

Not my favorite. Way over done, spicy with hot peppers on a very long and strong finish. I can see where this would pair better with steak, don’t make the mistake of drinking it without beef.

Solid 89. Can smell alcohol pencil both of which overpower any fruit aromas. Plum and dark blue fruit flavors with strong but rounded smooth tannins. Long finish with slight burn. Enjoyed but probably only buy if at good price

Decanted for two hours. Dark ruby color. Rich fruit taste primarily raspberry. Very in your face cab.

Opulent wine, but that was expected from an Orin Swift wine! Was perfect with my tomahawk steak!
