Tasting Notes / Review: Aromas of bing cherry, vanilla, clove, blackberry, black pepper, creme de cassis, toast, roasted coffee, fresh herbs and green olive. big, rich and round on the palate, displaying flavors of black cherry accented with toast and campfire notes.The finish is lengthy with nicely integrated barrel tannins.
"Superripe jammy black fruit, melted butter, abundant oak - full-on Napa Valley style Cabernet. The palate is full, lush, round, with fat tannins, pronounced coffee liqueur and oak flavour over jammy black fruit. Above average length. A solid, rich example that manages to retain some elegance and offers good complexity." 91 pts, John Szabo, MS.
