This is soft and fruity, with a gentle mix of berries and spice. There isn’t much depth evident, except for a somewhat astringent, bitter edge to the tannins.

A 50/50 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this brings sweet cherry flavors to the forefront, albeit with some noticeable volatility. You can taste it in the slightly vinegary finish; but that said, it’s a perfectly pleasant wine with enough fruit to carry it for a couple more years.

A dry, somewhat metallic, austere mouthfeel marks the entrance of this Cabernet. It has an Old World touch of musty dryness throughout, and the black cherry fruit seems to be drying out already. Flavors are succinct and contained. No blend is given, but it feels like a mix of grapes rather than just Cabernet Sauvignon. There’s a slight herbal, spicy edge to the finish.

The Fire Red is a four grape Bordeaux blend, with an interesting flavor mix that runs through red and black berries, cassis, cedar, smoke and dark chocolate. The 21 months in barrel (French and American) shows well, and the fruit and acids balance nicely against the roasty toasty espresso in the finish. Give it an hour or two to breathe and the midpalate fills in nicely.

Still young and battened down, it brings in grapey red fruits, plenty of barrel toast and some astringent tannins. Aromatically it seems to promise more than it currently delivers in the mouth; perhaps it has simply entered a dumb phase. In any event, give this one a good decanting.

This pure Cabernet Sauvignon is not a heavy wine, but within its sleek profile are interesting flavors of berry, leaf and earth. Tannins are crisp and proportionate, and the fruit carries through a graceful, moderately long finish.
