Cassis, vanilla and toasted hazelnuts. Medium-low acidity, medium body, medium-low tannins. This is velvety soft and goes down super easy. Drink now. Straight forward but delicious!

Granted this bottle was room temperature (not stored that way, I bought it ex-chateau), but it was something of a hot mess. A lot of the fruit has faded leaving mostly bitter oak and alcohol. I have a couple other bottles, hopefully a few weeks in the cellar will help. Drank too soon after shipping?

(Abeja Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley) A gorgeous expression of Cabernet with coffee, blackberry, cherry, spice, and herbal tones. The palate if filled with chocolate and cherry flavors backed by well integrated tannins. 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Merlot. Heather Hill, Bacchus, Dionysus, Weinbau, Hedges Estate, Red Mountain vineyards. Aged 23 months in French oak (60% new). 14.8% alcohol. Sample provided by winery.

2nd bottle of 3 that was plagued by VA. Drink 'em if you got 'em.

Less than thrilling, a little indistinct. I'm wondering if this was better younger...
