"I like the attractive combination of currants and orange peel on the nose and palate. Full body with firm tannins and fresh acidity. A wine with lively tension and bright fruit. Drink or hold."

"Glass-staining ruby. Powerful aromas of cherry pit, cassis, pipe tobacco, violet and leather. Sweet and focused in the mouth, offering chewy red and black fruit flavors and a jolt of peppery spices. The spice and dark berry flavors carry through a long, smoky finish, which is shaped by dusty, late-arriving tannins. - Josh Raynolds"

"This wine's ripe black cherry and cassis aromas include a tobacco note. The palate is forward and a bit aggressive, with chocolaty blackberry and brown sugar flavors with herbal underpinnings. It finishes fruity and bold. - Michael Schachner"

"Earthy, damp berry aromas are a touch rubbery, while a flush, obtuse palate is easygoing. Earthy berry flavors are round, plump and steady through a finish where some acidity finally appears. - Michael Schachner"

"Gamy aromas of olive, brine and mulchy earth accent berry fruit on a nose that screams “old school Chile.” A tight, firm palate with rubbing tannins holds lightly herbal and spicy flavors of berry fruit and mint, while olive and green notes are draped all over the finish of this hot-year Cabernet. - Michael Schachner"
