Juicy and earthy and savory all at once. Powerful, luscious, terrific blend. The alcohol is present but this wine doesn't taste hot, it's a little boozy with a slightly medicinal/hoppy aftertaste at first, almost like the hop profile of an IPA, but it's very light and fleeting. Blackberries on the palate after 30 seconds, almost like a blackberry syrup but not sweet. Awesome.

- Garnet color with slow forming legs. It's balanced with a full body. Smooth texture with a medium finish - This has improved since the last reviewers notes. A very nice espresso and black fruit infused intensity in this wine, which also finishes very well. It probably would benefit from some additional time in the bottle, but I will be adding this one to my cellar to enjoy more of as time passes.

Dark, opaque, full bodied, rich and intense fruit and mocha flavors, smooth tannins. A delicious Cabernet.

Left open for 48 hours and really softened. This one has a ways to go.

needs time in the bottle. I opened this way too early. Hopefully it will improve.
