Bright ruby red. Lovely and layered nose with an attack of floral notes, roses, lilacs, eucalyptus, and some blue fruits. Has some herbal undertones, vanilla, and spices. A touch savory with air. Balanced acidity with medium tannins (6/10). Layered palate with red berries, twigs, a touch savory, and cherries. Great mouthfeel and keeps changing over time. Medium bodied with a medium plus to long finish. Drink till 2021. (91+)

First wine we have tried from Agharta Wines and first Cabernet from Pax. Beautiful ruby red with a dark core. Great complexity and layers on the nose, starting with an attack of fresh blueberries and opens up to a few savory and tons of floral notes. Beautiful bouquet of roses, lavendar and lilac with a smokey undertone and a touch of eucalyptus. Nose just keeps changing as it opens. Overall great mouthfeel and well rounded. Moderate tannins (5/10) that is coated in red cherries and raspberries. Moderate body and moderate plus finish. A little shorter than we would have liked but very well integrated. Overall pretty good bargin at around $30 a bottle. Drink till 2021.

Absolutely killer. At least 5-7 more good years.

100% Cabernet. Dark fruit, herbal, menthol, bell pepper, cedar with high alcohol. Moderate plus acidity keeps it elegant and not overbearing. Well balanced big wine.
