Eric's Rating:
8.23 grapes.

The label doesn't lie. This is damn good stuff.

On the label:
"This wine is uncommonly complex and flavorful with ripe cherry and cinnamon-spice flavors and soft tannins."

Its true folks - this is indeed a complex wine. Multiple fruity sensations. Very satisfying taste. A nice bite of tannin that puts a pleasant tourniquet around the tongue. Just a hint of sweetness.

If I recall correctly, the 94 was pooh pooh.

The only negative comment I have is the wax seal on top of the cork. I don't like anything slowing me down when I am getting at a wine.

Here is what Consumer Reports says:

"Has many of the typical cabernet aromas. Very slightly bitter."
