Tarry and deep on the nose with smoke and oak tones rising above the tight core of earthy, herbal tinged dark cherry fruit. There are complicating notes of tree bark, forest floor, vanilla and pencil lead adding to the aromatic richness.

A touch tight with great acidity giving the wine focus and thrust in the mouth. The tannins quickly start to close in from all sides and while they are copious they are also quite ripe. The fruit is red and sour yet at the same time has a deep, sweet, liquory quality. There’s some café au lait going on in the mouth but the fruit is pure, rich and edged with a read more...

Tasting Notes - Wonderful harmony, intensity and concentration of cherry-vanilla, rose petal and cassis are found in the aroma. On the palate juicy blackberry, red currant and black cherry notes are well balanced and rich without being overpowering. Ripe and supple tannins finish long and lingering. This is a beautiful wine that will only improve over the next few years.

A blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Malbec. Elegant and stylish with pure, rich, vibrant focused sweet cherry and blackberry fruit that is supple and polished. The aromas capture the ripe berry fruit with just a touch of toasty oak, finishing with fine grain tannins that linger. A Bordeaux blend, St Supery's elu is a polished wine with great length. The engaging tobacco aromas suggest complexity, which is exactly what follows. Layers of earthy smoky flavors complement the ripe black-fruit character. Supple, silky tannins make it easy read more...

Classic Cabernet nose of spice, eucalyptus, mint and cedar. Very nice, big, powerful and full bodied - this wine can age. Finishes on blueberry, tar and tobacco. Good acidity keeps the wine supple.

Huge cherry nose with tons of spice. In the mouth a pleasant cacophony of oak and eucalyptus packed around a tight plucky core of bright red fruit. Oozes class. Love it.
