Shop review: This Cabernet Sauvignon shows very good purity of fruit and skillful
wine making. This wine is full of black fruit aromas, depth, and style. The palate
pushes ripe plum and berry fruit along
with chocolate, and the finish is chewy
and correct in terms of tannin and
structure.
My review: The wine smelled earthy and moldy, but it was pleasant, which I found interesting. I'd describe it as an unpicked cherry orchard that let the fruit ripen and decompose. The first taste brought some heat and dryness, but then the wine mellowed out and tasted more of strawberry and cherry.
