Darker color (borderline Cab-like), berry, smoke, vanilla, tobacco, velvety texture, pronounced finish.
Scott: “This is deeper, more complex… almost borders on Cab.”
Pam: “The aromas jumped out at me. The finish was definitely more pronounced.”
Lynn: “The taste jumped out at you instead of just sitting on your tongue.”
Jeff: “Far better than the others — color, aroma, taste, finish. Buy again and put it away.”
On retaste, Wine #3 stood out even more after tasting the others.
