Excellent Cab. Bottled only 6 months ago, I'm going to cellar for a couple years and let the flavors develop.

One of the best Cabs I have ever tried. Full bodied and smooth. Doesn't need pairing, can stand by itself.

A smooth rich flavour and enjoyed it very much. After having two glasses, I when ahead and purchased a bottle to bring home. Loved it so much, I’m planning to purchase a case for my next party gathering.

Unbelievable. The very best cab I have ever tasted! Will be buying more. Can truly stand alone.
