Sweet and extracted, with medicinal aromas of kirsch meeting chocolate bon-bons. Carob, malted milk and raspberry liqueur are the dominant flavors, while the finish is spirited, i.e. grabby and aggressive. Best if you like yours saturated and big-boned.

Seems like time forgot this Cabernet-Merlot-Malbec trio, and now it’s unstable. The nose is pure barnyard, with hints of peanut and saddle. The palate is cooked and tired. Not horrible but still best to skip.

Lots of clove and oak on the nose, with some green aromas and coffee bean. Core black cherry with spice shadings carries the palate, while the finish is constricted and mildly tannic. Fairly hard in terms of mouthfeel. Imported by Oenophilia Imports.

Deep, a touch rugged, and lively, with berry aromas accented by strong whiffs of citrus peel, especially lemon rind. Flavors of black raspberry and cassis are convincing, while the palate is textured, with smooth tannins and integrated acids. Balanced overall; one of this winery’s best offerings to date.

Pretty solid aromatically, and nicely colored, but goes sharp, lean and tart in the mouth. Shows some cherry flavor, but also displaced citrus. Too much austerity and overt acidity.

Starts hard and rubbery before opening to show more wood and toast than clean, approachable fruit. Kind of buttery and woody on the palate, where red fruit sits in reserve. Sort of lean in terms of flavor; limited. Imported by Oenophilia Imports.

Probably this winery’s best current release; the nose is forward, spicy, fruity and convincing. Follow that with bright cherry and berry flavors along with a finish that’s got medium tannins in support of spice and coffee, and you have a well-priced winner. What affordable red wine was meant to be.

Spunky and upright, with herbal red fruit on the nose and short, staccato flavors of rhubarb and pie cherry. Finishes tangy and hard, with a slight bitterness.
