Great stuff. Drinks so nicely. It's cab but not a fruit a bomb and fun that it does fit the Napa profile but is a ringer. Good sweet tannins and acidity give this nice body and structure.

Blind tasted. Dark purple and concentrated. Nose is aromatic with dark stewed fruit, flowers, perfume. Palate is intense. Tannins are strong and tight, but balanced by strong dose of spice and heat. Stewed blackberry and blueberry, slate, minerals. Finish is long. This is definitely in your face, and needs a good steak or spicy food to enjoy. Needs more cellaring, but overall this is good. 91.

Classic cab nose of bell peppers. Palate is dark and slightly bitter, but good mouthfeel.
