Review:
Lush black cherries, currants, and blackberries meld with suggestions of dark chocolate and brown spice on the nose. Polished tannins frame flavors of cassis, blackberry, and dark cherry, which mingle among nuances of chocolate, vanilla, and clove on the palate. Supple and sip-able, it's lighter and fruity than many Cabs out there, but it's very friendly.

A combination of strawberries, cherries, and raspberries, along with hints of vanilla and spice greet the senses. Flavors of dark cherry, raspberry, and strawberry jam flow into whispers of toasty vanilla and brown spice on the palate. Easy going and approachable, open a bottle with BBQ chicken.

Notes of pears and peaches mingle among accents of spring flowers and flint on the nose. A sip reveals flavors of green apple, pear, and peach that flow into nuances of minerals and white blossoms. With a crisp acidity and lively fruit, this is a wine to enjoy on a sunny day with your favorite seafood off the grill.
