Mostly Cabernet with smaller additions of Malbec, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this wine opens with a toasty campfire aroma. It's otherwise marked by velvety tannin, tobacco leaf and cedar, remaining medium bodied through the finish.

Soft and ripe, it's easy to drink now. The cherry, blackberry and cassis flavors are full, with suggestions of raisins, but the finish is dry. Cabernet's tannins are there too, giving the wine an astringent bite that calls for rich, fatty meats and cheeses.

Full bodied and softly tannic, this wine's fruit is front and center, wrapped in a subtle jacket of sweet oak. It dazzles with blackberries, cherries, raspberries, currants and chocolate flavors. Drink now for its sheer lusciousness.

Despite some rich blackberry and currant flavors, a rich overlay of oak and smooth tannins, this Cabernet is a little off in texture. It's gritty in the mouth, but it is nicely dry, and has a certain complexity.
