Their review: "A full-bodied combination of blackberry and black currant, balanced by a hint of oak for a smooth mouth feel."
My review: A dark, ruby-purple with bold legs. Absolute black fruit on the nose - I would probably best describe it as blackberry, it's pretty enjoyable. If anything it's slightly more fruity than other cab sauvs I've tried. This fruitiness replaces a significant part of what is typically a peppery taste, but the pepper is still pleasantly evident. The mouth feel was describe as "smooth," with the exception of a boozy after kick I agree with this. On second-thought probably a little more alcohol taste than I would prefer. That slightly-more-faint-than-usual pepperyness comes out more in the taste, especially with aeration. Overall it seems like a pretty typical cabernet sauvignon but doesn't disappoint. It's familiar and nice.
