Shane’s Notes

Cab - It has a sweet, cherry flavor with a slight vanilla overlay and a short, rough, spicy finish. It’s a bit rustic but decent for the price.

Merlot – I didn’t like this as well as I liked the Cab. It has a sweet, raspberry flavor up front (too sweet for my palate) with some smoke underneath.

At this price point, we prefer Concho y Toro’s Xplorador wines (esp. the Cab and the Chardonnay).
