Nose of big red fruits, cherry syrup, hard candy, soft vanilla, toffee, dry grass, and cinnamon that opens up into some char notes. Many aromas find life on the palate with the addition of candy apple, menthol, caramel, and eucalyptus. Sweet and spicy fruit round out the finish with some more menthol and mint notes. — 11 years ago

Smooth operator! After The Federalist... probably my second favourite red! — 11 years ago
Aroma of lemons and citrus. Very little upfront oak taste but hints of citrus like a sauvignon blanc. Finishes with the oak on the roof of your mouth — 10 years ago
Awesome for the price. Smooth. Oak clean, lighter than normal chard no buttery taste. — 11 years ago

This is just up there with my favourite wine (The Federalist). Very rich, fruity and spicy. A wine you want to enjoy a long time. — 10 years ago
