Purplish ruby of good intensity, medium bodied, clean. Nose of fresh plum, red cherry, and blackcurrant with acidity. Smoke, oak, vanilla, butter, menthol, all of which are minimum and balanced. But those layers of flavors get diminished with time. Tannins are just right. Somewhat bitter. 88+/100

Purple and opaque with a transparent edge and a full body. The nose is dominated by a lively violet, sandle wood, and red fruit (cherries, plumbs, ...). Full mouth feel, with surprisingly sof tannins. Young but approachable. Drinking well at present. 5+12+16+8=91

Solid B. Not with $53 cdn. Not fruit forward enough.
Smokey.
Napa and Sonoma cabs far more enjoyable.
