Cabernet Sauvignon

First time trying this winery.  Purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is lovely.  Complex aromas of cassis, black cherries, cedar, spice and slight earthy/tobacco notes.  Full bodied.  Medium to firm tannins.  Good balance.  On the palate, there is plenty of depth.  Not yet at peak but getting close.  Flavors of cassis, chocolate, clay, and damp earthiness.  Good finish.  Drink over the next eight to twelve years.  It is great on its own and will work well with many foods.  A nice choice with a Honey Brown Sugar Glazed Ham for the Holidays. 

Great showing at age 19!  Purple in color with ruby hues, opaque and bright.  The nose has cassis, chocolate, dust and spice.  Full bodied.  Medium to firm tannins.  Great acidity.  On the palate, this seems to be at peak and drinking great.  Flavors of cassis, chocolate and slight spice.  Long finish.  Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.  Great on its own, this will work with many foods.  A great choice with a Lamb Stew.  

Very nice showing for this Left Bank Bordeaux wine.  Purple in color, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose is pretty with cassis, cedar, dark chocolate, spice and slight black cherries.  Full bodied.  Firm tannins.  Good balance.  On the palate, this is young but with some air, this is drinking well.  Flavors of cassis, black cherries, slight chocolate and spice.  Tight but complex.  Long finish.  This is nice on its own and will work with fatty foods such as Prime Rib.  Drink over the next twenty  years.
