Not good. Just strong with alcohol and weak with flavor. — 5 days ago

9.0

A great value under $35. A high quality Cabernet Sauvignon that will be drinkable someday, but not yet. Perhaps 2030. It does not need many more years of aging. Now it’s just boldly overpowering and will make your teeth grit. But the potential is definitely there. — 6 days ago

I can tell this Cabernet Sauvignon is well-made. In 10 years it will likely be very enjoyable. Right now it is so strong it will overwhelm anything you pair it with. I had it with lamb chops. It is too bold now. Even 2 hours could not calm it down. — 12 days ago

M.O.’s Edcora Vineyard is much better than its Sage Ridge Vineyard. Powerful and strong but not over-extracted. Better in five years but still drinkable now. Complex flavor palette with pepper, leather, earth mixed with a dark and brooding side. Peppery nose. Worth its $85 price. — 6 days ago

Inky goodness. I see why they call it Darkness. It is purple in color. Deep, dark palette. Great value under $40. Bitter chocolate, plum, and black raisins. An excellent buy. — 18 days ago

9.2

A little too strong now but still a nice cherry-flavored wine. Better in 5 years and likely too early to drink now. Still a nice value at $45 and a good accompaniment to my Czech beef stew. Needs beef. — 6 days ago

Does not taste like French Bordeaux but what a wine. A great mix of Bordeaux grapes that balances out the Cabernet Sauvignon’s boldness to make a well-balanced wine. A steak wine.

Amazing Syrah. Earth, leather, tar, smooth tannins, long finish, blackberry, accompanied by a powerful nose. Ready to drink without decanting. This is the gold capsule version. Worth its $95 price tag. — 17 days ago
