Disappointed in the low reviews here! Drank over 4 days. Lovely on day 2, more reminiscent of Cabernet Franc from Touraine by day 4. Holds it's alcohol very well with some air. If drinking soon give a good decant and you will not be disappointed! Natural cork; fair amount of sediment; 14.9% abv.
I really enjoyed this which is rare for me at this point in my wine drinking career as I have been very jaded on new world, high alcohol, Cabernet Sauvignon based wines. Very well done!

Better than expected. Fruity, smooth, napa cab blend. Not typical, more bubblegum than cassis or plums. Fairly rich mouth feel with only modest tannins. Drinks well now.

meh...this bottle did not show as well as the last one. A bit more disjointed, with more tannin astringency on the finish. after a couple hours open, that aspect became more pronounced.

Alcohol heavy and not well balanced. Drink up.

Very fruity, not in a good way, overdone.
