The two Bordeaux varieties and one from Burgundy give the wine its characteristics - smoke and spice from the Merlot, full fruit and herbs from the Cab Franc and a tart finish from the Pinot. The Pinot shows much more than 1% might suggest. Smoke, herbs and red fruit are abundant, but the Pinotesque notes of cola and black tea deliver a solid smack. Cool climate rings true here in a delightful wine. — 6 years ago

Really tasty. It's Texas wine--mix of Tempranillo, Cabernet and Merlot. Light, light light with a touch of sweetness. Good blend for a summer evening. — 8 years ago

The 2008 is the best of the Cherry trio. Again viscous and apricot but sustains longer and unfolds in a way that is fractionally more elegant. — 6 years ago

This sweet Bordeaux pushes all the right buttons for a wine style that wants to be known as “more than dessert.” The rich golden hue beckons, while the nose of candied fruit is draped in a cloak of minerality. The palate certainly wants to be more than an after-dinner afterthought. The viscous mouthfeel, bracing acidity and mineral-driven flavor profile form a trio unlikely to be caught traveling together in most sweet wines. These have been doing it for centuries. — 7 years ago

Intense & fresh ruby red color together with fresh and bright red cherry, plum, sweet basil, and peppery spices on the nose & palate. Medium-to-full-bodied, solid texture, strong but soft tannins, and spicy aftertaste on the finish. Soft & delicious and remain very good value & one of my favorite. — 6 years ago

What a winner this wine is. To even call it wine is such an understatement, because the combination of those 3 varieties gave birth to an experience so surreal, that it gives meaning to self proclaimed wine connoisseurs, wanting to experience and explore the 7 levels of heaven, or shall I say, the 3 levels of pure vineyard perfection. It gives purpose to wine lovers, because it serves the exact reason why wine lovers like myself drink wine. The flavours are akin to a nice Sakura blossom painting, with some deep rich red-purple colour palette. A visual experience in your mind that you will always long for in time to come. In short, it has ‘characters’ that play out so perfectly well that it commands its own leading title so to speak. And, the best part is you can’t tell who is your favourite character. This is for those whose drank all the hard liquors out there and decided, “wine is for me”. The explorers. — 6 years ago

Woah best of tonight's trio, gracefully aged. Everything I want in vintage Bordeaux. Leather, bell pepper, hints of pepper and spice. Elegant finish. Oh lord this bottle went too fast — 8 years ago
