Dark fruit, blackberry, very silky and great finish. This wine is solid and over delivers for the price.

Bold dark fruit. Some pepper and earthy notes. Medium mouth feel. Drinks well.

Blackberry, cassis, licorice, eucalyptus, oak and hints of vanilla. Great structure and quite tannic.

Great value wine from consistent producer. My first Cabernet from the 2012 vintage and it lived up to the hype I've been hearing since harvest 2012. Very well balanced, blueberry. Medium body, tannins and acid. Stock up on 2012 my friends.
