  Fruity
  Peppery and tannic, grippy
  Thinner and more tannic and acidic, no fullness on the palate
  
  
  Earthy dirty forest floor, intense deep ruby
  Spicy black pepperydeep black flavor-not really fruit at all not sure what actually
  After some air, more fruit, still dark but at least it’s there, warm spices are starting to warm in

  As good a balanced, sophisticated cabernet-based red wine for $13 as can possibly exist. 75% cabernet, 15% syrah and 10% carmenere.

  Dry, somewhat sour cherries, fairly tannic. Good with steak, no doubt. Likely to age pretty well from here.
  
  Yes, Clos Apalta is the "big sister" wine, 5x the price. Confusing naming convention.

  Nose is more black fruits than the palate which ends with cranberry or maybe even rhubarb. Medium plus acid. Medium tannins. Long finish for this price point. Drinking well now. Might improve over the next year or two. I got 6 of these for $13 a bottle which is a great value.
  
  BTW, I was confused between this wine and a Clos Apalta, which may be a different, and more expensive, wine. I believe I’m not the only one who may be making this mistake.
