Blackberry and cigar box aromas at first. Then tobacco, moist earth with flavors of ripe cherry, blackberry, cassis, and saddle leather on the finish. Medium bodied, a bit hot but smooth and soft. Glad this was the last wine of the day...palate fatigue.

Great tannin structure. Medium acid medium body. Fantastic flavors of leather, smoked meat, black pepper, and black fruits. This will become a staple cab for me.

Leather, tobacco, blackberry and cherry. Alcohol content on the higher side. Long finish strong tannins. Would be very interested in trying this in 3 or 4 years. 2013 vintage.

Big Cabernet from South Africa. Wine means rest and peace, or peace and quest. Huge cab. Lots of alcohol. Big fruit, mostly red, and some oak and other things one might encounter in the dense forest. Some drops of werewolf blood and dragon scale slime smell, but nothing overpowering. I would order this again.
