June 19, 2022 - A great cassis and mulled cider quality on the nose. This medium bodied Cabernet has nice sweetness. I get some stewed plums, wild flowers and some good oak on the taste profile. This wine is very balanced and somewhat delicate. Definitely, not over the top on fruit but it works nicely…

October 4, 2020 - Fragrant nose, floral with some earth. Juicy blackberry, currant, and a little blueberry. Mouthful of fruit with a little earthy spice well framed by oak. Well done. 94/95 pro scores.
I upgraded it from 93 to 94 midway through the bottle. A little air opened it up, so throw it in a decanter for an hour or two. Finish goes on forever. -

April 16, 2020 - Deep purple wine with a lot of ripe black fruit on the nose (black currant and blackberry), mocha and spices. On the palate, stewed black and red fruits with a licorice finish. Fat wine with medium tannins.
