    i occasionally enjoy a glass of red wine at night, especially by the fire during this winter, and as i have said previously, your wines are as the notes are described.

    Very unfinished, not smooth in flavor, and left a residue in the glass and in the mouth. Would not recommend or purchase this wine--it was certainly not worth the price paid for it in this shipping allotment. Reminded me of an "overrun" from a mass-production winery.

    We were surprised as to how this wine had practically no "nose". The taste was passable but not up to the strength expected from a Cabernet Sauvignon. It's a wine I would only drink with food. Not because it compliments it but because it was not good enough to drink alone.
