I had a bottle about a month ago and it was a bit backward. Nice enough that I bought a case but just tasted on blind tonight and thought it could be a TD-9 or even a Darioush Franc.
I.e., it's flamboyantly aromatic, near-jammy, loaded with mocha and yes, a bit of violet. Creamy and just beguiling on palate, if a little light for cab. DELISH!

Astonishingly fresh, and definitive of RRV fruit.

Surprisingly good and very unlike the Wine Enthusiast and James Suckling reviews, which characterize this as fruit-driven.
More like a Bordeaux-aspiring Oakville cab, but in a good way. Somewhat restrained -maybe interpret instead as well-balanced.
Rather than overt cassis or cherry the palate has a lovely, compelling savory notes that I'm struggling to identify. Delicious, nevertheless.
