This Bordeaux blend is dry, smooth and complex. There’s a wonderful earthiness and herbalilty to it, with green olives complementing Cabernet’s blackberry and black currant fruit, as well as the effects of oak aging. Shows real elegance and interest, at a very fair price. Drink now.

A Cab-based blend, this is a smoothly polished, ripe wine brimming with bright cherry, red currant, blackberry, cola and oaky flavors. It’s fully dry, and is made in a style to appreciate over the next year or so.

Made from the two Cabernets plus Merlot, this is a forward, tasty but somewhat one-dimensional red wine. It has jammy blackberry, cherry, blueberry and chocolate flavors and smooth tannins. Drink now.

Simple, sweet and jammy, with pie-filling cherry, raspberry and cocoa puff flavors. Doesn’t reflect well on the Oakville appellation.
