Juicy and bright with plenty of funk. Not at the most "extreme" end of the natural spectrum, but very cloudy with a touch of barnyard at first. — 8 years ago
It's interesting. This is the second meritage blend I've had in the last little while. This was a blend of 79% cab sav, 12% cab franc, 6% petit Verdot and 4% merlot. I very much enjoyed the CF in here. Wonderful nose. Very perfumed. A lush mouthfeel with silky tannins. An extremely pleasant finish. I knew nothing of Ruston before this but I will have to seek them out in the future.
I must say that I thought I was all about "pure" wines. These last couple of wines have me thinking a lot more about Bordeaux. I don't even know where to start! — 8 years ago

Spicy red cherry and herbal notes appear on the dusty nose. Then becomes rich, ripe and very suave with candied red cherry and floral pastille flavors that have noteworthy lift and precision. Finishes long and remarkably smooth, given the total absence of oak. (ID) — 8 years ago

Jaquere on its skins, from the Alps hence camp skiers. But aren't all skiers camp? Looming large over the bottle of grappa on the table we were to make swift work of. — 9 years ago
Classic with a hint if floral — 9 years ago

On the nose, strong black pepper, anise, and green pepper slightly overshadow the blackberry and currant base. On the tongue, exceptionally smooth, revealing soft, sweet plum and caramel on the medium-long finish. — 11 years ago
