  Blackcurrant fruit with cedar notes. Slight alcohol feel, moderate tannins. Leave for a few years.

  Deep purple colour. Bouquet of cinnamon and vanilla mixed with earth. Body is moderate. Slight tannins. Flavours of dark chocolate, tobacco, slate with some plum. Finish is fairly lengthy. Quite enjoy it.

  Pleasantly surprised by this. I had anticipated a Napa Cab bomb of overextraction and new oak pithiness but this is actually skewed to old world with sufficient age on it. Great balance of savoury fruit and fine tannins and well-managed alcohol & acid. Went well with seared flank steak salad with roasted beets, goat cheese and caramelized shallots.

  Not my favorite CA cab but decent fruit, nice mouthfeel makes this a crowd pleaser.

  Had a little taste before decanting for two hours - fairly harsh tannins as you would expect but a lot of fruit. Silky smooth after time in the decanter and by the end I was battling with my fizz-loving girlfriend to finish the bottle. Delicious wine and was a great accompaniment to my bone-in ribeye.
