Beautiful cabernet nose. Cherries and dark fruit dominate. Nice spiciness and earthiness and little bell pepper. The tannins give it a velvety mouthfeel. This should develop well with further bottle age. Great wine with food (steak etc) and excellent QPR.

Peppery and spicy, the fruit a bit overwhelmed by the bite. Not much of an aftertaste, but plenty of flavors emerging since the initial tasting. Plums and citrus, toffee candies.

Cherry candy nose, very tannic to the taste. Major pucker factor. Not so great finish. Not a favorite.

Lush ripe black cherry and black raspberry - this vineyard near Asti just rocks. This is an easy drinking earthy wine. Great Value
