Full on the nose, but there seems to be some brett resulting in aromatic hints of hard cheese and leather. There’s energy on the palate, with lemony notes preceding core flavors of cola, cassis and kirsch. Ripe and sweet, but with nothing out of the ordinary. Good Cabernet for the price, but not what you’d call interesting or exciting.——M.S.(8/1/2009)—— 86
