AromaS:
Black cherry, currants and plummy Cabernet aromas. The mocha, vanilla and cedar from a well seasoned oak, is the perfect complement that gives this wine an attractive and complex nose.
Flavours:
Shows rich, elegant currant and black cherry fruit framed by toast and mocha from the infused oak. On a second sip you start feeling a depth very uncommon in a wine of this price. Beautiful balance and a lingering finish.

Aromas and flavors of currant, black cherry, blackberry, pepper, and spice; medium to full bodied with a good mouth-feel, approachable tannins, and good depth and structure.

Eight months in oak, all new. Fuller, more complex, and longer... Very pleasant drinking. Still retains some tannin.

------------------------------------------
Sweet, a bit candied and creamy on the nose, with marshmallow and other oak-driven aromas. The palate has a common, regular, comfortable feel as well as vanilla and boysenberry flavors. Dark and savory late; well made in the ”value” class.

Forward, with a mix of currant, fig and sage notes backed by a note of graphite on the...finish.

Amazing value! The Cabernet is full bodied and ripely flavored, with intense character and evident oakiness; long finish, tasting of black currant, toast, cherry and oak.

This has nice focus, with dark cherry and currant fruit layered with some sweet toast. Shows dashes of vanilla and loam on the finish.

Sour cherry and toasted grain jump out of the glass with a briny caraway spice on the palate. A short finish of pleasant but gripping tannins and licorice hints. Seared salmon with rye crust; roast pork.
