Blackberry & Blueberry with hints of Black Tea & leathery earthy notes. Subtle touch of oak. Good balance with firm tannins that softened after a 2 hr. decant. Good Bordeaux blend at a reasonable price, went well with rack of lamb

I really like this wine. Has a gravelly element to it which makes sense given it is a “right bank inspired wine.” It is hard to describe exactly but it does leave a little bit on the table with regards to well rounded finish which Keeps it from being exceptional but it’s a great wine for the price and I will continue drink happily now and in the near future.

Very light for a Cliff Lede blend. It’s missing something. Good but not a good value.
