    February 26, 2015 - I enjoyed this wine. Dark fruit on the nose, replicating on the palate as others have noted, with a richness that was balanced by the tannins and a bit of acidity. Medium finish. To be honest it reminded me of a California cab, but with more restrained fruit and more structure. Kind of like a Chalk Hill cab but with a shorter finish. Very nice, especially for the price. I could see this becoming our "house red". Kudos to the wine buyer at Bottle King.

    May 29, 2014 - Sehr korrekter Cab der sehr jung ist und für Lagerung offen sein müsste. Hier gibt's violetten Fruchtsaft, konzentriert und packend, eventuell etwas short im Finish aber da geht noch was mit mehr Luft.

    December 27, 2013 - Cabernet Sauvignon from the Languedoc.
    Yield of 2.5 tons/acre, aged 6 months in barrel.

    At immediate opening showed a slightly funky note, that though perhaps was a touch of Brett (which I don't mind)
    that quickly blew off, though was just slightly detectable later, but doesn't detract from the wine.

    Deep purplish red, but not as light absorbing as many of the bigger Cabs seen today.
    Red fruit on the nose, with under tones of earth.
    Young for a cabernet, with some drying tannins, but a nice profile of black fruit, brambly, but approachable now, that isn't overly fruit forward, and balanced at 13.5% alc. Would pair well now with lamb, or other richer roasted meats.
