Tonight this was consistent with those earlier tastings, with somewhat subdued fruits, dark garnet colored, medium-full bodied, a layer of black tea moderates the spicy blackberry and boysenberry fruits, turning to the notes of licorice and leather on the gripping tannin lingering finish. https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2020/11/ladera-napa-cabernet-for-italian-dinner.html

Very nice! Nose is stewed blackberry and cedar. Tastes are fresh, vibrant blackberries and semi-sweet chocolate. Andes’ chocolate mints on the finish. Tannins add a soft but lasting astringency.

Paired this wine with pulled pork sandwiches. The color and body were good. The drink was nice over all. It still had a slight oak and dark fruit flavors. It was enjoyable from start through finish.

Very nice black berry fruit with a distinct mint and eucalyptus nature.
