Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby with a medium+ intensity of red and black fruit aromas. A blend with 60% Cab Sauv, flavors of black currents, ripe cherry and blackberry flavors with notes of espresso and cacao. Fine tannins, vivid acidity, medium finish ending with fresh fruit, drink now, fruit getting tired, losing it vibrancy. No further aging benefit.

Really nice wine. Beautiful oak notes. Somewhat delicate at 12.5% abv. If you are used to American juice bombs, this isn't the wine for you.

Very nice at the price point, especially with a 375ml available. Cedar and a touch of pepper, smooth fruit with semi-dry tannins on the finish. Very enjoyable, especially on days 2 and 3.

From the same producer as Ch. Landat and Lamothe-Cissac. More forward and polished than Landat, more red fruit with appealing oak aromatics.

Fabulous for the price. Red cherries. Wish we had bought a crate when the vintage was cheap.

Smooth, strong oak flavor maybe a little bit of a leather taste. A little dry but quite good!
