  Garnet colour. Coming into its own now. Was a 4.5 star Platters selection. Lots of red and black fruit on the nose. Tar and liquorice, with a backbone of cassis and fruitcake on the palate. Great integration of constituents and will drink well for another 5 years.

  Very nice bottle for $15. Well-balanced acidity and tannins. Good combination of fruit and earth.

  Lean "classic" style of Cab rather than new world fruit-driven reminded me of a Cru Bourgeois Haut-Medoc but without any particular excitement

  Medium bodied, technically good, very pleasant drinking wine - good value - an oenological safety shot, but a very good safety shot.

  Higher acidity in the finish, good hearty earth and fruit on the front. Balanced tannins. Best paired with lighter meats.
