  S: earthy, barnyard, white pepper
  T: prunes, grippy tannins, cherry fruit leather, tobacco
  
  Tried after it was uncorked and it was a little rough with cow pasture smell. Decanted for an hour and it got much better. Definitely needs to breathe out. I would have scored into the 70s range without the decanting. Will hold up well to bold red meats like smoked BBQ or char-grilled steak.

  Smells sorta like a cool climate Cabernet. A little bit of tobacco leaf in there. Definitely tastes more like a old world wine. Marie notes its earthy and delicious.

  Deep ruby purple, not quite opaque
  Ripe black currant nose extending to palate.
  Dry but nice ripe dark berry fruit.
  A bit simple and short, but a very good cabernet value at $10 and serious enough to compete with simple Bordeaux at a similar price point. I rather like this at this level.

  Tart cherry and plum. Decent oak backbone, and tannins are soft. Nothing special, but not bad.

  A lot of plum and grapey notes, a touch sweet and some dark chocolate but very little depth. Drinkable but nothing close to the 90 point score of WE.
