A new style red. Sharp tannins that hit you fast and high on the palette. Spicey red fruits. Has that long steely finish. I am finding this is all pretty typical of the A-Valley and have yet to find one that is really outstanding. Just my take, suggestions welcome.

Definitely agree with the previous tannin comments, as they work well to compliment the peppery spice and currant flavorings. This is a decent Cab for the money.

Eighth wine tried in HADM 430 at Cornell. This wine smells like jam on warm toast, with bell pepper, chocolate, and spices... it's a very heady aroma that is easily noticed. The taste is very warm, like black and bell pepper, with a very strong kick as the tannins set in. It's simple and enjoyable, and I like wines that kick, so it's a 5 for me. I can tell it would go great with food too.

black cherry, blackberry, cedar, sage, mint, and vanilla. Firm tannins and decent aciditiy. Close to being "well-balanced".

Dark cocoa and some charcoal on the nose. Nice body. Nice fruit. Very drinkable on the second day. Tannins have mellowed since it was opened. Nothing amazingly special about this. . . a solid cabernet.
