- Black cherry, cassis, cedar, and oak aromas surround tobacco in this full-bodied Cabernet with concentrated red and black fruit flavors. Firm, silky tannins and a toasty, caramel finish makes this blend enjoyable now, as well as in the future

- Bright ruby-red. Spicy aromas of cassis, licorice, shoe polish and menthol. Tightly wound in the mouth, with the wine's moderate sweetness currently dominated by a strong oakiness. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins. Not yet showing its personality.
