A strong whiff of minty green runs through the bouquet, while the fruit aromas are prickly and lean toward rhubarb and red cherry. The palate is darker, but rather nondescript, while the finish is a black hole of rubbery tannins and coffee.

Rubber, wood smoke and black fruit vie for center stage. In the mouth, you’ll find the earth, coffee and berries. Finishes dry, firm and traditional. A well enough made wine that doesn’t reach the summit of the mountain.

At 14.5% alcohol, this wine is too big to have the flaws that it does. The nose is muddy, dark and heavy, while the palate is short and bitter, with strange rubbery flavors peeking through the heavy tannins.

Bland, with oak-driven aromas of butter and roast corn. In the mouth, there’s banana, pineapple and other sweet, ripe fruits, but to say it’s traditional Sauvignon Blanc would be a stretch of great magnitude. And the alcohol, which clocks in at 14.2%, seems high.

Mint and tomato blend with red fruit on the nose. The palate is tight and tannic, with limited cherry and cassis flavors. Finishes dry and blanched, with little to offer.
