Lighter-medium style cabernet sauvignon (more typical of VA) with notes of cherry, candied cherry, some slight plum and hints of earthiness. Tannins have fully integrated. This had greater body weight than my previous bottle. A great example of the age-ability of VA wine (12 years) at $15.

Initially coravined ~ 2 months ago; finished today. Lighter style cabernet sauvignon (more typical of VA) with notes of cherry, candied cherry, some slight plum and hints of earthiness. Tannins have fully integrated. Holding together well after 10 years.

Ruby color with a dominant sweet fruit nose. Black cherry dominates with some lighter sweet cherry highlights. Also showing some cola and earth, moderate tannins and medium finish.

Deep ruby color with a ripe, sweet nose. 2d night. Black cherries, blackberries, cassis, earth in a rough blend with dominant tannins.

Garnet color, red fruit nose. Dark red berry with a big block of tannin up front. Still needs time to open.
