Seven Rings Cabernet Oak Knoll

Subtle herb and black currant on the nose. Plum on the front of the tongue and black currant, sweet herb, that intercedes in the middle with a dark fruit finish. Very smooth with lingering but polished tanins. Extremely long lasting and on the smoother side. Powerful fruit but the tanin makes it a little dry.

Truth and Valor Cabernet
Medium bodied. Dark fruit on the nose with a little bit of leather. Cherry on front with cassis/warm dark fruit in the middle. Subtle chocolate on the backend. Very Very VERY VERY VERY SMOOTH and lingers awhile. Long cherry flavor on the second and third tasting. Alternates between cherry and dark fruit in subsequent tastings with chocolate sneaking in there occasionally. The smooth polished tannins leave a bit of astringency in the mouthfeel while still being abundantly smooth.

14 Hands
Subtle nose. Medium bodied. Black cherry fruit in mouthfeel with subtle baking spices. Tannin giving a drying feel but round because it doesn't explode like crazy in the mouth, moreso like a smooth astringent taste. Little cinnamon on nose.
Dreaming Tree Crush
Had it at TGIF with friends. Carmel on nose red berry front tongue caramel back. Little grip.
