Nose is dark cherry, plum, tobacco, cocoa, vanilla, wood smoke, and a hint of cassias. Flavors are tart cherry, plum, cocoa a little vanilla, a bit of minerality, a hint of leather, and a slight hint of pepper on the lengthy finish. Very smooth, well balanced, and very enjoyable.

Nose was rich. Huge disappointment from there. Smooth but thin, fruit and spice. I don't expect this to improve with time. Maybe it's just not my style. Love other BC wines, but returned the remaining bottles.

Great balance and flavor; we love the sangiovese/cab/super tuscan style. Perfect acidity and long, pure finish. Good sangiovese flavors, nice blend of cab and syrah to produce a very fine wine. Tasted side-by-side with Covington Prima Miscela that has less sangiovese and more cab/cab franc. We liked the BC, but a friend preferred the Covington.

Nice nose of cassis, spice and acid. Full with nice acid spice and decent finish. Bring it on with the red sauce

just ok for us. A bit tannic and not that well integrated.
