This is better than the last time I tried it and it definitely needs time in the glass. Good development of secondary aromas including tobacco, spices(cumin), and cedar. Nice dark berry flavors fill the palate initially with a return of acidity in the mid-palate turning into some black raspberry and cherry flavors. Finish persists for about 30 seconds and is very pleasant.

Not familiar with Cab Francs enough to compare, but this was very enjoyable with a ribeye, almost as much as a Cab Sauv. A very likable and lingering mocha finish rounded out mild tannins. Not big on fruit, but very smooth.

Nice development. Slight bell pepper note on the nose. Great flavours. A big hit with the wine club crowd.
