100% Cabernet Sauvignon
~ $35CAD

Decanted for 1.5 hrs. Intense ruby/purple colour to a violet rim. Sweet aromas of blueberry, cassis, eucalyptus ... almost a Shiraz nose without the peppery notes. Nice legs. Medium-full bodied with well integrated tannins. Smooth, with dark crushed fruit, glycerin, and a lintering finish that has a hint of raspberry. I was expecting a more robust, full-bodied wine. 87 points.

Decanted for 2 hours. Dark ruby red, sheets the glass then producing plenty of thin legs. Aromas of vanilla, oak, sweet dark fruit (cassis), and herbs. Full-bodied, chewy Cab with vanilla, blackberry, and mint. Nice 30s+ finish.

Oak and fruit still disjointed but you can definitely see the quality of the wine and its potential. Wait 3+ years for it to come together and really show its stuff. Much better than previous bottle tasted in February.

Medium-dark ruby colour with mint, vegetal, black fruit, and blueberry notes. Medium-full bodied, tannic, chewy wine. Nice fruit. Nice fruit on the back end and finish. Black berry fruit. Don't think the tannins will resolve before the fruit falls away. 89 points (10/22/2005).
