(Charles & Charles Cabernet Syrah Vol. II Columbia Valley) A fruity, enjoyable nose full of fresh berries, some gamey notes, and light herbal qualities. Wild, gamey flavors and a citrus component. Syrah seems to beat up the Cabernet at the moment. A real bite on the mid-palate is a serious distraction. Improved a bit on the second day..

Excellent bottle of wine; especially for the price. Dark berries, little spice, nice wine for cooking-- all in all a nice effort.

Better than average bottle of red but no distinguishing attributes. Dark berries on the nose. medium bodied. worth the try at the price point.

Good. I lack the vocabulary to describe wine.
