Lots of color and dark fruit, but a little too generic to score higher. This is a smooth, polished wine with blackberry, cassis and licorice aromas and flavors. It doesn’t vary much from its core identity but it’s healthy, structured and not short on tannins and acidity. Expect more from the 2006 vintage.

Solid, juicy Cabernet that has a lot of fresh berry and black cherry on the nose. The mouth is forward and fruity, with slick plum, berry and cherry flavors. Not the most complex or layered Cab you’ll find but it sure is good, thick and tasty. Powerful, too.

New World Cabernet Franc with none of France’s leafiness but a whole lot of ribald black fruit. Maybe a touch more herbal and spicy than Gillmore’s Cab Sauvignon; it has good depth, lots of fruit, sweetness and richness. Lip-smacking, tannic and a lot like Carmenère in terms of weight and herbal influence.
