  Nose a little muted at the beginning but opened up to some sour black fruits and leather. The palette was dry and didn't offer much anything else. Overall not an interesting wine.

  Do not "get" some of the recent comments and ratings.
  This is a beefy Cab with lots of tannins left, lots of black fruit and wood.
  Not for the timid who want a "lush life" Cab (try a Sonoma).
  This is young and it needed 2 hours of decanting (which is what is recommended for a younger Cab) to be the wine you want it to be.
  If you do not...disappointment.
  This is an incredibly good Cab, have read some articles that say this is better than any of the single vineyard wines from Von Strasser, kudos to the winemaker.
  It is best with food (grilled meat) versus a sipper.
  Recommend holding towards end of year or early 2019 for best results.
