Fantastic bottle. I’ve been coravining this for a couple months. The first few pours had strong acid structure. After some progression with the coravin this really came into its prime today, with a bright floral and blue fruited cab profle. No contemporaneous notes but this was fantastic, a huge improvement (+3) from the initial coravin pours suggesting time and air will improve this further.

Drank next to '09 Kerloo Syrah. Needed some time to open up and was much better in day 2. Remember it being not an overly oaky or heavy cab. Definitely on the medium side.

(Gramercy Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley) Redolent with black licorice, ground spices, tobacco, and pepper. Surprisingly lithe on the palate. Exceptionally well balanced with focused fruit, spices, and light oak influences along with a touch of chocolate and herbal flavors. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Pepper Bridge and Phinny Hill vineyards. 13.9% alcohol. 375 cases produced.
(Gramercy Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley) Black licorice, menthol, and cola show on the nose. A soft, pretty taste with a light earthiness. Pencil shavings on the taste and nose. 100% Cabernet. Phinny Hill, Pepper Bridge, and Portteus vineyards. 319 cases produced.
