Friday, November 3, 2023 - This deep ruby wine is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, aged for 12 months in French oak barriques (33% new). Offering plentiful red fruit that is accented with savory herbs, baking spices, violets, menthol and graphite, it is a medium-bodied red with fresh acidity, seamless alcohol (14%), proportionate oak and silky-textured tannins. Dense in the middle and medium-to-long on the back end, it is a joy to drink. Sampled over three hours from a bottle that had been decanted through a Vinturi aerator, this fully opened after the first 90 minutes in carafe. Drink now-2034.
