Winery review: This Cabernet Sauvignon shows very good purity of fruit and skillful winemaking. This wine is full of blackfruit aromas, depth and style. The palate pushes ripe plum and berry fruit along with chocolate, and the finish is chewy and correct in terms of tannins and structure.

My
review: Thickest wine I’ve ever had
by far. It was like drinking a watery strawberry jam. I was blown away by just
how thick this wine was. It had a lot of texture, very viscous and chewy
mouthfeel. It smells like it tasted: straightforward red fruit jams. Strawberry,
raspberry, and plum. It was also vaguely woody, more cedar than oak. This was a
very different wine and I liked it a lot.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
