Thursday, May 25, 2023 - 78% Cabernet Sauvignon
22% Merlot
Dense, near opaque appearance.
Dense nose with a sense of depth and breadth, clearly ripe but has a cool frame with perhaps a touch of mint to the Cab. An impression of creamy fruit and low-key salinity, blue-black fruits, a hint of fig or something… ripe and mellow.
Full side of medium-bodied, plenty of volume and lovely acidity. There is some heat and a pleasing austerity to the tannins, even a little green but overall ripe. Surprisingly supple, juicy and showing some toast on the finish, this is strangely classic with a great stony vein.
