Although there is nothing NOT to like, it didn’t have the smooth tannins (none detected)I was hoping for. A respectable light vintage melange of cab sov& mostly merlot at a good value. Consumed with an assortment of cheese.

My last bottle of this wine, and it's a shame seeing as it continues to drink better and better. Medium intensity ruby in the glass, the nose is full of red and black fruits, underlaid with lovely floral and candied scents. Aerated and decanted x 1 hr. On the tongue cherries and ripe raspberries emerge, followed by plums some pleasant vegetal notes at the mid palate. Finish is medium in length, fading with the taste of ripe strawberries. Tannins are fine and rounded at this stage, with a lovely acidity. Impression: this wine as really begun to sing, and is currently balanced very nicely. Should continue to evolve nicely in the bottle for another 4+ years. A spectacular bargain at 16$ /bottle- 93 pts

Needed air and time to improve. Even so, despite its enjoyability, it was not complex on the palate. A bright red plum note was mostly all it gave.
