I don't normally drink desert wine, but when I do....

Kidding aside this is killer, acidity , freshness tannin, it offers a great experience for the wine aficionado and the novice.

Black cherry, cassis. As huge as it is it is just as fresh. Full bodied , fresh acidity and ripe tannins. 13.5 abv!

Wine #3 of the night was amazing. A recommendation from my local wine shop contact, this elegant red exhibits France's dominance in red wines. So smooth, balanced ... It's flavor caresses your taste buds. To be honest, I am a total novice to the bottle. Cheers! — 13 years ago

Made the mistake (I'm a novice) of decanting this wine. No need. Nice and full bodied with red fruit and oak, which a wonderful combo in my opinion. Want to try this one again, sans decant. — 12 years ago

I really thought this had a fantastic, peppery finish. Not too in your face, but enough to probably make a novice notice. — 13 years ago

From a novice, trying it for the first time at a wine tasting event...I enjoyed it very much. Not very educated in wines at this point, I would describe it as smooth, medium body, more flowery than fruity with a melon taste versus citrus. I would keep a bottle handy at home. — 12 years ago

Very much enjoyed this Honig sauv 🐝 Fruit forward but mellow with, (from a novice nose), aromas of maybe melon, mango, and also delicate minerals with a little oak. One of my favorite wines on my explorations thus far. — 12 years ago

88 Dark purple. Powerful aromas of dark berry preserves and licorice, with a smoky overtone. Lush and expansive, offering hefty black and blue fruit flavors. This seamless cabernet packs a lot of fruit for the money and finishes with good energy and cling. May 2012, "Cabernet Sauvignon" Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 88 BEST BUY! Very good priced Cab with fresh herb, black cherry, blackberry and earthy aromas. The palate is healthy and stands up to scrutiny, which the flavors of cassis, berry, chocolate and pepper are correct and more than pleasant. Long and lasting on the finish. The best Root:1 Cab to date.
