red and dark currant scents

A close second (and who knows how they might perform at different times and with different foods) is the 2012 Cariad Proprietary Red Wine

a hint of licorice

This is a large-scaled Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

youthfully austere finish

A much more floral-inflected nose is equally fresh and ripe with a broader range of spice elements adding breadth to the pretty red and blue pinot fruit aromas that are trimmed in noticeable if not invasive wood

This displayed a nose that bordered on being surmature with traces of stewed fruit along with good spiciness and earth nuances

brawny wine revealing the tell-tale peppery

pure and dense

Hints of dark blue and black fruit

This moderately powerful effort is shaped by dense but fine tannins and is a wine that should amply repay extended cellaring

and length
