  January 3, 2021 - Tastes as very good Cave Coop red. Complex, slightly rustic, very ready to consume. Not much Cabernet character beyond the structure and depth of color. Enjoyable but ... as a red not a Cab.

  August 8, 2020 - Unadorned Cabernet (no oak) that has more ripe blackberry fruit than a typical Cabernet of the south of France, where a green herby flavor often dominates. A nice weeknight fresh red with good weight and color rather than an evolved Cabernet. Clean acid balance, modest and resoled tannins, juicy but dry finish. It will hold/age for a year or two, but no point in deliberately aging it.

  January 11, 2020 - We enjoyed this wine, but it is an every day drinking wine, not complex, not terribly interesting, and it needs to be drunk young. Little tannins, low acidity, not a hefty cab (13.5 percent alc), fruity is really the main characteristic - cherry, blackberry (not overwhelming bb though like some California cabs). Not likely to age well in my opinion, so will never develop the complexities of a CA cab. Drink up.
