Drinking very well. Flavors and finish as well chronicled below. Seems to have 2+ years in it, though I'll probably drink the final bottle in next year while juice is fairly vibrant.

Definitely from a cool vintage. The black raspberry (not a real thing, but not sure how else to describe it) and flower flavors are lifted and bright. Some drying tannin is still there too, but not so much as to detract from enjoyment. This has a very nice lingering floral impression. Drink or hold.

Nice, but nothing spectacular. I found it to be a little disjointed. I have two more in the cellar and will wait before I open up another. This one was a gift and the other two were purchased by me and stored in my cellar. It could be that this one wasn't stored properly.

(Cadence Coda Red Mountain) Locked up tightly right now, it opens to reveal a vivid fruit profile of red and black currant, plum, macerated cranberries, bittersweet chocolate, herbs, and barrel accents along with floral and mineral notes. The palate is laser focused, restrained in feel with seamless fruit flavors and exceptionally well integrated tannins and a whole lot of flavor. An impressive find at this price with exquisite balance and a great look at the house style. 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 14% Petit Verdot. 14.4% alcohol. Sample provided by winery.

Great secondary and tertiary echos. Scotch notes. Rich. Very much alive.

Nice profile of black/blue berries, eucalyptus, mint/bay leaf herbs, medium soft wood spices, medium plus body. QPR is spot on.
