Really enjoyed this wine. It had a nice tropical flavor with pinneaple coming through. It was very smooth and balanced with a nice lingering finish and moderate acidity.

Loved the initial barnyard and funky smell, but the taste bothered me with a fizzy sort of aftertaste. I could not get past it, although the fruit was nice with smooth tannins.

Thoroughly enjoyed this wine, initial barnyard gave way to really a really smooth balanced wine with nice cherry flavors.

Okay wine, tannins were well integrated but I had the vegetal note which bothered me. Was a little underwhelmed given the rating, decanted for 2 hours.

Did not decant, nice cherry flavor, almost a little port like in taste, but a bit thin. A nice CDP but definitely ready to drink.

I enjoyed this wine. Simple fruit flavors and easy tannins.

Very good for a 2nd label. Strong Cherry flavors, smooth tannins which suprised me given its youth. It makes me want to go out and buy a few bottles of the first label.

Really enjoyed this bottle. Decanted for 30 minutes. Great dark fruit flavor, well balanced, and soft tannins. Easy to drink.

Decanted for 1 hour. A little disappointed given the ratings from others on this site. It had decent cherry flavors but I felt that the fin ish was short. Tannins had mellowed out. I was expecting more complexity.

Very nice wine. Grass on the nose. Lemon and Lime flavors and crisp finish.

I was expecting more from this wine. Medium bodied and good cherry flavor. Not much on the nose. Decent bottle of Chianti.

Decanted and drank right away. I thought it was a solid cab, good dark fruit, balanced and smooth finish. It did not blow me away as others have mentioned.

Taste of sour cherries, medium body with a nice texture and a dry short finish. With the pasta we had it was a good choice.

Good dark fruit and soft tannins almost creamy. Was a big hit with my non-wine friends. Good QPR.

Good wine for the price, decent fruit may be better after a little more time in the bottle.

Not as impressed as the other reviews. Good fruit but did not wow me.
