Red fruit and spice jump out of the glass first. Ripe Cherry, Raspberry, Cinnamon and Clove with an herbal undertone and dried sweet tobacco leaf.
A lifted nose of ripe damson plum, chocolate, tobacco leaf and swiss herb candy. The palate is dry, concentrated and finishes bright and juicy.
A modern example of Pinot Noir, showing dried black cherry, black tea, dried cranberry, and swiss herb candy with a whiff of pipe smoke.
This might be my favourite example of the Big Head Red. The nose is fragrant, red berry fruit dominant, with herbal, smoky and toasted wood tones. There is so much going on already. The palate is dry with a fresh and ripe “juicy” quality. I am enjoying this very much. Have with anything that gives you comfort...
This is a generous example of Cab. The nose is ripe, layered with baking spice, and also quite sanguine.
Ripe red and blue fruit, almost Zinfandel in character, with a touch of pipe tobacco and roasted dill. The palate is dry, with that Niagara Merlot grip, and finishes fresh with a touch of oak and alcohol sweetness. The alcohol is noticeable on the breath, not so much on the palate
A very generous nose of ripe berries and baking spice. I had to check the label to make sure the appellation didn’t say California.
