Highly Recommended

"Ruby color. Aromas of cherry, plum, vanilla paste, and sweet dried tobacco with a medium-to-full body and a medium-to-long boysenberry compote, currant jam, and dried rose petals finish. This dry, juicy Cab's toothsome tannins and opulent cherry-plum flavors balance well with barrel aging."

"Ruby color. Aromas of black currant, vanilla, and bramble with a soft, dry-yet-fruity medium-full body and a stimulating, medium-length plum and cherry finish. Dry, fruity Cabernet with generous oak notes and a touch of menthol."

"Violet color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate covered mixed berries, roast plum, coffee bean and leather, and nutmeg and cinnamon with a velvety, tangy, dry medium-to-full body and a warming, appealing, medium-long finish imparting notes of black cherry, cinnamon and nutmeg, vanilla and cocoa, and chocolate covered pomegranate with well-integrated, medium tannins and light oak flavor. Rich bake shop spices on the nose that carry over to the palate with concentrated fruit undertones and chocolate essence."
