"The aromas bring notes of fresh brewed coffee, the blackest of cherries, cedar, dark chocolate, and a kiss of licorice. The palate is supple, textured, and sophisticated, backed by soft, plump tannins. Espresso notes linger on the finish. It’s tasty."

"The 2021 TruthTeller ‘The Confidante’ Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon shows off a smooth mouthfeel with cocoa powder covered dark currants, pencil lead, black cherry and pipe tobacco on the palate. Enjoy now and over the next eight to ten years. Drink 2025-2033"
