Well made, smooth & structured. interesting and mind provoking...black pepper, blueberry, cherry, violets,tobacco..etc... the palate is super smooth but flavours turn to sour or expired chocolate, leather (lots of leather) gamey almost???...weird...but enjoyable...not a blockbuster, for the wine nerd.

Thought this would have been a lot richer and smoother. Not totally impressed here for the price. Much cheaper options out there in my opinion.

Nose offers smoky vanilla, herbs and spices. Very dry on the palate - cherry tobacco follows. It's thin to medium bodied and well knit. A good decant is needed to open this little devil up.

big for a niagara pinot, defies the norm. Balanced and structured, silky with good tannins

This stuff is awesome. Loads of baked dark fruit and sweet tobacco. ...but not too sweet. It's smooth but with a little bite of freshness. Easy to sip on this all night long.

Volker Eisele Cabernet Sauvignon 2006, Napa Valley Bottle

agreed - blackberry, current, cassis, cedar. This wine appears to be light but then tricks you on the palate into being full bodied. The tannins are like sand paper on your tongue - it's incredibly structured & dry. A really serious wine, that reminds me of Girard wines from Napa. One of the best bordeaux blends i've had in a long while. Cab/Sauv Cab/Franc & Merlot
