We Bought a Bunch $24.99
What the Wine Critics Thought: Wine Enthusiast 92 Points
This is a very fine 100% Cab, although it’s tannic and needs a little time. Shows lush flavors of blackberry tart, cherry pie, milk chocolate and sweet, smoky oak, with a long, spicy finish.

What We Thought: A fragrant nose of cedar and cassis leads to a medium-to-full-bodied ripe blackberry palate that displays notes of dark chocolate and oaky vanilla along with some supple but evident tannins.
