Very true to its heritage, and, to its terroir, this was garnet colored, medium-full bodied, somewhat sophisticated and polished, but not overly complex, nicely balanced flavors of black cherry, black berry and a layer of tea and moderately sweet black licorice turning to tones of subdued spicy oak on the moderate lingering finish.
This was perfect with truffle infused brie cheese on herb crackers and sliced pears
fruit forward, very approachable. blackberries, cassis, mocha and toasted oak on the nose. full palate, fairy straightforward cab. It does seems to have a touch of sweetness and heat on the finish. long finish, tight, mod intensity tannins. good for the money

Coffee and mocha on the nose with cherry fruit and a seemless palate. This is rather well done. I wish the labels weren't so tacky. Cardomom and candy cherries.

Still drinking great! In fact it's probably got a few more good years to go.
