• Deux Chevaux Does not like this wine:

  March 14, 2023 - Big, dark, bold. All too much so for us. Monolithic, and showing some alcoholic heat. Same results after two nights — then into a sauce it jumped.

  October 4, 2022 - Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts of Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petite Verdot. Dark purple color. Elegant aromas of red and dark berries, cassis, baking spices, dried herbs and bramble. Pallet is full of black berry/currant, pencil shavings, black licorice, dried herbs, black tea, and leather. Touch of earthiness on the very long finish. Medium plus body. Soft texture and very savory. Outstanding quality at this price point. More please!

  August 8, 2022 - This offers melted notes of currants, black cherries, baking spices, and oak. Full bodied, open knit, and soft tannins are wrapped in an attractive, New World style. Much better than I anticipated.
