Great, fruit-forward wine. Big, a lot of typical cab fruit currant, plum, anise. Not layered a ton (a little pepper/spice), not a lot of players in the game. Really subtle, sweet tannins for a cab. Drank this w a few other gems for a fun night, so its distinct character was really evident. — 12 years ago

Wow, 2012 looks like a great year for Niagara reds. Excellent depth and strong fruit. Promises to be a great wine in years to come! — 12 years ago

Loved this wine! Red fruit, vanilla and oak nose. Raspberry and plum with a hint of mineral. Well balanced even with the tannins still a bit heavy. Delicious! — 13 years ago
Really great. Subtle, but beautiful older world style. Great earth on the nose. Gentle, well-integrated tannins. The earthy-ness deepened and improved throughout the night. I look forward to trying it on a Day two. By far the best QPR of the night.
Drank this w a couple other nice cabs during the night (a great fruity WA example (Fielding Hills Estate Select) and a big, beautiful tannic classic example (Boudreaux Cellars reserve). This was definitely good and more my style than the big hitter (2008 Boudreaux Reserve). It just couldn't keep up w the gorgeous tannins and big, pure fruit balance of the Boudreaux, all in all. They are in different categories stylistically, but both beautiful wines in their own way.
Day two: I would t call this "subtle". Killer wine. Delicious. Just not big tannins. Wow. Beautiful work. — 12 years ago

Heavy blackberry, blueberry fruit flavours with a hint of spice. Some tannins and should cellar well for 5-6 years. — 11 years ago
