Community Tasting Note

93 Points

Thursday, February 1, 2024 - Medium ruby with some clearing at the rim.

Nose: Cassis, cherry cola (very prominent), pencil shavings, a bit of leather perhaps

Palate: Dark fruit, chocolate, a bit of spice from the oak. Super smooth, no alcoholic heat at all (despite this being 15% abv!) but the alcohol gives body and smoothness. Tannins fully resolved. Generous. Medium finish. Lip smacking. Really good. Great with beef. Like a really great Napa cab sav based blend.
