Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

This organic Cabernet offers lip-smacking delicious aromas of blackberries and cedar forest with some black and purple fleshy plum notes in the background. Full-bodied and smooth. Great price! Food matches: creamy cheeses, French onion soup, slow roasted meat dishes, hearty vegetarian dishes, spicy tomato-based pasta dishes.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

Classic Cabernet Sauvignon. Notes of red and black fruits, cassis and licorice on the nose. Full bodied with good structure and firm tannins.

With concern for creating genuine wines that respect the land, nature,and subtle balance which allows for the expression of harmony between soil and vine, the vineyard has been organically farmed since 1990:
§ Compost and organic enriching agents to nourish the ground
§ Natural cover planting in autumn and in winter
§ Upkeep of the grounds through manual ploughing and weeding from spring to autumn
§ Treatments with natural products
§ Biological pest control of vine and grape pests
