I was not expecting much thinking it will be just one of your stock standard cabernet blends. I am actually amazed at the quality and depth of the wine. They have done a excelent job on the blend with each varietal complementing each other perfectly! You first get subtle hints of licorice and spicy characters on the nose. It is a fantastic balanced wine that is of medium body with plenty of fresh fruit and solid blackcurrant flavors mixed with fine tannins. It is then the wine takes a turn to the merlot which softens out the palate with smooth plum flavors ending with a lingering spicey finish. Great Wine!! Winemaker's Comments: Deep red with youthful, purple rim. The palate presents a firm, structured wine of medium body with ample, fleshy fruit. The Cabernet Sauvignon leads, giving generous ripe blackcurrant fruit characters and firm tannins which lay down the immediate structure of the wine. The Merlot then follows, with softer, fleshy plum and black cherry flavours, filling out the mid-palate. The wine then delivers a satisfyingly focused and spicy finish.
