Rich bouquet, but a bit thin in the mouth. Perhaps I was hoping to discover a $40 bottle @ $16.50. Very drinkable. Didn't rock my world. Had with EH's chili... so LOTS of flavor... perhaps should give it one more try.

Bought this at the same time as the Neyers Byrd Cooper Zin - 2007... preferred the Zin. This Cahor was OK and quite drinkable, but didn't leave any lasting impressions.

Definitely a full-bodied Zin. Liked it alot. Started with a mouthful of berry/currant fruit and morphed to sweet tobacco.

  • Aromatic
  • Crisp
  • Refreshing

If you like a grassy burgundy, you'll enjoy this wine. It's a nose full and a mouthful. Crisp and refreshing.

This one works for RH, not for EH.

  • Balanced
  • Dry
  • Sweet

Starts sweet and fruity, yet finishes crisply and long in the mouth... with a hint of fizz. Very nice wine!

This one we both really liked.
