Forward in blackberry and cherry fruit, with a strong oak overlay, this is a flashy Cabernet. Flavor is what it’s all about, at the expense of complexity. Drink now.

With an amazing alcohol level of 16.6%, this Merlot is as hot as a chile pepper. But the flavors are enormously rich and flamboyant, suggesting ripe cherry and raspberry jam. Ready now.

This wine is fundamentally sound, but excessively sweet and extracted in cherry and prune juice flavors. It feels flabby and cloying, although the acidity is fine. Not going anywhere.
