ccarpita's Review:

Very well balanced, but the body falls a bit short and it's not all that different from the Merlot. Same buttery chocolate with a bit of ripe berry fruits.

ccarpita's Review:

Very unobjectionable, a bit of sweetness with soft tannins and a pleasant bit of wood and chocolate. Fulfilling on a basic level.

ccarpita's Review:

Big and bold, lots of smoke and wood, like if you set your oak cabin on fire, then collect the insurance and spend it on blackberries.

ccarpita's Review:

I didn't enjoy it much personally, as I prefer stronger wines, but the wine has a lot of character and complex flavors. Nice tartness with raspberry and blueberry notes, a touch of sweetness, not very tannic.

ccarpita's Review:

Very vegetative, herbal, and tea-like qualities on the nose, with a delicate and complex mouth. I wouldn't want to drink a lot of it, but for one glass it's very nice. Definitely a thinker instead of a doer.

ccarpita's Review:

Really bold and powerful with a soft touch, butteriness and mild acids are in perfect balance, the fruits are melonous and tropical. Would go great with couscous and salmon.

ccarpita's Review:

Very minerally and a bit sweet, this is a fun and decent wine for catering, picnics, camping, and 5 second shots of laughing with old friends. Oh black box, you melodious monolith of mirth.

ccarpita's Review:

Very robust nose and some interesting flavors, smooth wood flavors, with a dry finish.
