Community Tasting Note

Thursday, July 5, 2018 - This medium-bodied and well-aged Cabernet is drinking well right now, with a beautiful combination of ripe and earthy tastes. Garnet in color, medium in body, nose of plum, graphite, and herbs, with hints of flowers and burnt toast. Tastes of blueberry, boysenberry, and pencil lead, with a sweet finish that carries well-integrated, almost dusty tannins. 14.7% alcohol.

This isn't a blockbuster, but it is awfully good - an integrated and sophisticated package. I would have thought this was a few years younger - i.e., it drinks with energy and sophistication. Blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot, and 3% Malbec. 93-94. Drink now.
