Dark red, vivid. Somewhat quiet, initial nose of black cherry, bell pepper, and olives that develops within an hour into a cherry, mint and tobacco classic cool climate cabernet profile. Has an inviting mouthfeel, nicely balanced light tannin and delicate acids. Flavors repeated from the nose, with added cranberry. Delicious, lingering finish with acids becoming more apparent in waves. Bottle #2 of two. I'd like more please.

Well past it’s prime but still quite enjoyable. Drank like an old Bordeaux with tertiary flavors. Love that this was only 12.7% alcohol!
