Unfortunately nothing (yet) unique about this wine. Could be any Cab blind. This could be anything. I reserve judgment for now. Cellared upon release. Balanced...but not special.

I bought 3 bottles from Garagiste back in the day. My 3rd corked bottle (100 percent corked🤪. Congrats Garagiste!). I get some cherries so you get some points from being 70. Disappointed for sure. I need a Two Buck Chuck to cleanse my palate! At least if the cork was stuck in my *ars the barnyard would make me think some type of Rhone wine with some additional points. Nope. Good God...next.....

Tonight this wine is outstanding. My best yet (only 2 bottles remaining from a case purchase direct from the winery. Stored at 57 degrees). Cork was perfect. Good God I love this wine. Decanted 2 hours for sediment. Everything in balance and based on this bottle, wine has the potential to improve! I could just keep my nose in the stem all night...
