Nose is jammy, fruity, cannabis, black licorice, strong alcohol content. Deep Purple in color. Heavy appearance. Taste is fruit first but quickly over taken by a dryness. Anice on back of tongue. Not much fruit on taste. Seems it wanted to grow more complex but couldn’t quite get there. Not bad, not great. 2013 was a great year but someone forgot to tell the Sculptor. Opened up after three hours.

Tobacco on the nose. Medium red color with touch of rust. Cherry, blackberry and mineral taste. Mild, pleasant, short finish. Smooth tannins so I did not decant. Light to medium bodied. Enjoyable on its own. I think it’s a good wine at this price point.

I would say that this is definitely worth purchasing again. Not sure what I paid for it, but we both enjoyed it. Spicy, dark fruitpeppery - definitely a decent guzzle on weeknight when you don't want to open something more expensive. I think this will pair really well with a pasta with red sauce and meat.

Mediocre Cabernet. I didn't dislike it, but it just wasn't that interesting. Dark fruit with a little strawberry on the finish (?). Maybe it was what I paired it with. Probably wouldn't buy again
