Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Bright red fruits achieve a decent amount of ripeness, but unfortunately, there’s not a lot of concentration. The spice-laced finish is long, aided by soft tannins and notes of leather, tobacco and earth.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The dark, black fruit on the nose and palate of Ray Len’s Carolinus red blend is ripe, but a bit tired and dusty, competing for attention with all the dark, toasted oak. It’s a straightforward Carolina red with a hint of tomato leaf and not a lot of structure, but fine for everyday fare.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Aromas of toasted oak, green leaves, vanilla and spice waft from this medium-bodied North Carolina Bordeaux-style blend. The palate is ripe and plush with plenty of sweet dark cherry fruit, but there’s a tinge of green in the backdrop. Tobacco, smoke and supple tannins on the finish add an edge to this otherwise soft sipper.
