July 17, 2019 - Lovely charming, fruit driven delightful and ready to consume now. Tannin smooth, fruit pops with dark red fruits, very bright. Slight chill drink up.

October 30, 2018 - Extremely well made and solid in its structure. This is your quintessential light, cabernet with finesse. Dark purple color, medium to light body and more prominent on the mid palate. Savory with loads of plum and blackberries, acid plus and velvety tannins. Long finish with focused flavors. Its ripe fruit and high acid level make it a home run. Drink now.

May 31, 2018 - This was great! A simple table wine - I loved it. Slightly bitter and green, in a good way. Low abv (at least for a cabernet).
