This dark wine offers a nose of black fruit and cassis, painted with cedar, clove and cinnamon. The very expressive aromas put me in mind of the holidays. The palate is alive with the dark berry notes and oak spice, and a monstrous set of tannins that need some decant time to soften. Don’t worry, the wine will still handle any steak you put in front of it.

I loved this one - not incredibly dry - but oh so smooth. And you could taste the berry notes in lovely subtle aftertaste. — 10 years ago

Aromas of plums, wet brown leaves and Forrest Floor. Flavors of cooked plums, raisins, cola and cocoa. Hint of cedar. Full bodied and nicely complex. Well balanced. Nice wine. Revisited in November 2021. Still holding up nicely. Above notes still apply. — 4 years ago

Dark crisp ruby red in the glass and a nose full of blackberry, bright plums and cocoa. Medium tannins and nicely structured. On the palate it was very aromatic with sage, lavender and rose and a medium to long finish. This is a winner. Love Ladera and the Cabs are world class. — 7 years ago
