Still quite primary and disappointingly still fairly oaky. Soft and round, fairly purple, was hoping for more elegance and acidity from a Spring Mountain Cab.

Delicious. Fresh plums, cassis. Hints of earth and dust here and there. Bits of baking spice. Savoury herbaceous notes. This is a great and rich Cabernet that has a whole lot left in the tank.

Initially bright aroma of raspberry, blackberry, and traces of black licorice and earth; at first the flavors are primarily raspberry and blackberry as well but with hints of blueberry and leather; very smooth and balanced before any air time; the oak lends a bit of sweetness that adds to the overall profile of this wine. Lingers on the palate for 15-20 seconds and then a mildly earthy spice appears at the tail end. Terrific.

Requires 60+ minutes of decanting to bring out nose and dissipate some tannic bitterness on the finish. Medium bodied, not a lot of sediment but crystallized on bottle and cork.
Drinking at peak and has years remaining, perhaps 2020 or longer. Excellent clarity of fruit, mushrooms all over, slightly mentholated, gravel, with burnt tobacco finishing it off with good length. Great QPR at $25. Very good-.

Great wine for the price. Heavy extraction, dark berries. Drinking really well now.
