  Hour decant, this is a fine example of what this region can produce for a very low QPR when it comes to cab sauv. A nose of blueberry and cedar along with a palate of fine grained tannic structure and the right amount of acidity to complement the dark fruit and light oaked element. Medium bodied with a medium finish, the smooth body of this wine is quite nice.

  Dark crimson, with aromas of cassis, dark fruit, oak, and spices. Cherry, toasted oak, herbs, black currants, blackberries, tobacco, and chocolate flow across the palate to a long, full-bodied finish. This is an elegant, yet full-bodied wine, with finesse and velvety tannins. We’ll done by a great producer, and a great price point for a wine like this. Enjoy!

  Medium bodied, red fruits, chocolate, and tobacco. Grippy tannin and a bit angular. Let this decan about 30 minutes to open up.
