Wine Reviews

Soft, grainy tannins are enveloped in mocha and plum. Soy sauce integrates with roasted coffee bean. Deep and concentrated, leveled out by a fine acidity.

Aromas of cinnamon-coated cherry and hibiscus is just the start of something special. This blend of 51% Grenache, 40% Counoise, and 9% Mourvèdre show exotic, tropical flowers, matched with persimmon and white tea leaves. Each sip is akin to a bite from a Gala apple, with an orange peel and white peppered middle. Exciting mouthfeel: light and fresh.

Savory and salty with earthy notes of charcuterie, iron, and black plum. The taste of maturity comes through with concentrated dark berries, coffee-cedar and a decidedly creamy finish.

Aromatically expressive with scents of red and black cherries accented with spicy undertones and a note recalling tomato plant leaves that often results from some whole cluster fermentation. Stylishly light in color and weight, this still offers plenty of flavor, though thankfully without any excess oak, nor any sweetness that doesn’t seem to emanate from the fruit.

Ripe and rich, with black cherry and plum declaring alignment with espresso and charred oak. An old world earthiness ensues on the finish.

A pungent, woodsy perfume envelops the senses: mango and buttered popcorn. A lather of lemon wafers, ripe pineapple, and toasted oak indicate the wine’s well-balanced character.

Pineapple, yellow apple, and green banana glow with a charming acidity and balanced toast. Bright and cheerful, with fresh hay and vanilla pudding finish.

Here’s a Cabernet that is fully satisfying in terms of weight and flavor impact but not overlain with more than a touch of oak so that its purity of fruit can shine. Aromas and flavors of black cherries and dark berries are not overpowering, and simply delicious.
