"Distinctly primary scents of blackberry and mulberry, with smoke and game notes gaining strength with air. Youthfully reduced but shows good intensity and jammy dark fruit character. Finishes with good peppery bite and lingering sweetness."

"The 2010 Chianti is ridiculously great. Juicy dark cherries, mint, flowers and violets are some of the many notes that jump from the glass in this exuberant wine. The pure vibrancy of the year comes through in spades. This is easily one of the greatest values in Italian wine."

"Aromas of lush black cherry, blackberry and cassis draw you in. Round and rich tannins provide a robust backbone and supple mid-palate. Notes of cedar, vanilla and a hint of mocha linger on the finish."

"This cabernet is drinking beautifully now and will age gracefully for many years. The aroma is bursting with ripe cassis, blackberry, plum and a hint of lavender. This intense ripe fruit is complemented by subtle hints of clove, anise and sweet toasty vanilla. The palate is rich and round with silky tannins that envelope an intense core of fruit that carries through to an incredibly long finish."

"Medium-bodied wine with a crimson red color."

"A fine French Cabernet subtly combined with a rich dark chocolate from Holland, paired together to create a decadent, silky smooth drink."
