Appealing ruby red on opening. Bold cassis nose with smoky oak and mint notes. Dry medium to full bodied palate that seemed somewhat restrained and a little bit tart towards the finish. More fruit character and smoother when drinking the following evening. Recommend it be enjoyed with food - a meat casserole was good. The blend is 55% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc

Thinner and a bit bland this time. Seems to be a hit or miss sometimes this one. Much better on day 2 however.

Had with Sander. Beautiful nose of vanilla and leather. Full bodied, oak dominant with grippy tannin, long finish. Great value.

Excellent, easy drinking wine this. Vanilla and chocolate dominate. Medium bodied and very approachable.
