Community Tasting Note

Mark1npt Likes this wine:

Sunday, June 18, 2023 - Pnp'd into a decanter for 2 hours before taking over to HMC's for dinner. Tight cork in great shape, initially very dark purple in the glass, slightly muted nose that improves with every swirl of the decanter. Zero sediment in the bottle. Sampled over the first two hours and it was tight, high toned and slightly tannic. At dinner all this settled out into a well balanced, well made cabernet. The fruit still has some power and juice to it, the tannins have integrated and the acidity is perfectly matched. Primarily dark red/black fruited early on but later in the evening over 3-4 hours some nice blue fruit emerges and takes center stage. Glad I have one more bottle of this one left in the cellar. Kenefick to me, has always felt like it's lacked something over other vineyards in Napa, but not so with this wine in this vintage/bottle. This one is very nice and very, very good! Close to WOTN for me personally. No hurry on it either, it should hold here for a few more years, at least.
