Medium ruby core with a lighter rim. Ripe black cherry and wild strawberry fruit aromas all surrounded by cooler notes of wet earth and spicy cola. Very round on the entry into the mouth; smooth and silky. Hints of game surround tons of ripe strawberry with a touch of charcoal and dark earth on the finish. Great balance making this an easy drinking, smooth Pinot all the way down.

Medium dark purple and ruby in the glass. Herbal aromas with charcoal, dark cherry and blackberry. Smooth and rich in the mouth, this wine is almost drinkable now. With a little more age, this should be a very nice easy drinker upon release.

Bright ruby core. Herbal aromas up front backed by dark charcoal and rich raspberry. The raspberry continues on the palate and is joined by slate, earth and white truffle. Nice acidity with soft, balanced tannins.

Bright ruby core with a brick rim. Explosive floral aromas surround dark cherry, fresh ginger bread, charcoal and a hint of green pepper. The wine enters the mouth with a nice soft, rich and round feel. Coffee, mocha, black cherry and sweet tobacco linger for a ling time on the finish. Blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot.

Medium ruby-red core with a light brick tint on the rim. Black cherry fruit is surrounded by earth, charcoal, black truffle, wet stone, black licorice candy and molasses, all under a wisp of violets. Soft entry in the mouth, building to a soft, sweet medium body on the mid-palate. Sweet leather and dark earth support red cherries and cassis.
The harsh tannins from when it was younger have settled well, and it is drinking beautifully right now. This is a very well known winery and an excellent Cabernet if you need a bottle to impress somebody like a date’s parent.

Medium ruby core with a lighter garnet rim. Light cola aromas and dark, extremely ripe (almost overripe) cherry are surrounded by earth, scorched charcoal and a touch of herbs. Very full bodied and fruity on the palate. The fruit is fresher and brighter, with red cherry and raspberry dominating around a core of sweet cola. Pretty thick and jammy on the mid-palate. A hint of earth, slate and charcoal come in on the back to support the finish. A bit of heat (meaning the alcohol is out of balance) comes through.
