Screened and decanted for about an hour. Lots of sediment. Black currants and fig on the nose. Cassis and pomegranate up front. Medium body. A bit tart on the finish.

Dark purple. Woody aromas of cherries, black currants, blackberries, and oak. Full bodied, tart, concentrated black and red fruit flavors. Youthful, tannic grip takes center stage. Outta sorts at this point. Needs time to meld together.

Amazing nose upon opening. Briar, cedar, some dried fruit. Taste didn't quite live up to the nose though. Pleasant fruit up front but mouth puckering astringency on the finish.

Red cherry, dry hay, and a little cedar. Dusty tannins on the back end. Would pair well with a solid piece of meat.

solid cab at very reasonable price...does not overpower food, but smooth enough to drink on its own.
