One of my wife Meghan's favorite wines (5 stars is her rating). The wine's aroma has notes of peach and apple. The attack is fruit-forward with apple, the mid-palette is sweet with notes of honey, and the finish is a tinge of citrus. It is a complex, off-dry German style Riesling, with enough flavors to impress the seasoned wine drinker, but also is approachable and enjoyable for the wine novice.

The nose has floral notes of rose and lavender mixed with black fruits. On tasting, the attack is smooth with black fruits, which persists through the mid-palette. The finish is tart and spicy, with undertones of anise. The wine is fruit-forward, but the tart finish seems to indicate that it could benefit from aging. Overall, a smooth Cabernet Sauvignon that would pair well with a hearty meal.

For the price, this is really impressive. The aroma is full of deep red fruits and notes of cocoa. Upon tasting, the attack is smooth with red fruit, the mid-palette is cocoa, and finish is spicy with cloves. This is a smooth, savory, and earthy blend that is surprisingly complex. This pairs well with hearty foods. Recommended!
