Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Cabernet Sauvignon is the leader in this four-grape blend that starts out with aged barnyard aromas before revealing raspberry and rhubarb flavors. And on the back end there’s some green character some might call weedy.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Acceptable aromas but all acid in the mouth. A sour, bitter, red fruit dominant wine with very little going for it. Offers nothing but sourness on the palate and finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Coffee, roasted meat, toasted nuts and other dark aromas set up a slightly fiery palate with mildly medicinal tasting red-fruit flavors. Sweet and dark notes of cotton candy and espresso, respectively, mix on the finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Presents itself via a thick, burnished yellow color, while the nose is oxidized and waxy. Creamy feeling and loaded with vanilla flavor, but flat and mushroomy as well. Mealy on the finish.

Normally I hate syrah, but this surprised me. Strawberry and cherry aromas, pretty bitter in the mouth, and a spicy finish.

Fruity nose, drinks smoothly, and leaves a little caramel taste on the finish. Could use some more texture.

Earthy, smoky nose. Thick mouth feel. This was my first time drinking camenére, and it's definitely a fun grape.

Super inky and smoky. The fruit got overpowered a bit.

Showed some pear, melon, and light enough oak. Nice change-up from California chardonnays.
