Tasted at Duckhorn, opened and poured for me as they could not fill a request of mine, lovely, rich nose of plum, fig, mocha, sage, and dusty forest floor, more of the same on the palate, medium/big body, lovely and rich tasting, time to drink up at its peak if well stored, long, flavorful finish.

Drank after a long day skiing. No food pairing. No decanting. Nice nose and wonderful fruit initially, but thick tannins with a slight sour finish. Didn't seem to be corked, but maybe an off bottle? Too bad I only had one. Definitely could use at least 2-3 more years in bottle.

Nose of Cabernet. Elegant fruit gives way to a full bodied wine. A rich darkness differentiates it from cab. Blueberry blackberry cassis.
