Very nice cab from BC. Strong tannins, good fruit, nicely balanced with oak. Compares well with an entry level Napa cab; still a ways to go to run with the big boys. Tough varietal for BC, but this performs well.

Day 1: Big Fruit sweetness coming across initally, touch of floral notes the other thing I get a lot of it a darkness coming across as over extracted and drying in a sense on the finish
Day2: That over extracted flavour seemed to have disappated a lot still lingereing but more red fruit Red Blackberries, zesty, Dark Cassis meets Blackberry meets Raspberry

Lots of Oak on this the fruit handles it for a bit but the fruit is youthful and the oak is big. The vines need age on them to truly hold on to the oak. Think oak needs to be toned down a bit until vine age is good enough to handle it
Conc: Drink now in my opinion
