  93 that is beginning to lean into 94. This 14 shows nice evolution but still needs 2-3 years before it hits the beginnings of its full stride.
  
  This 2014 “The Sisters” is rich, lush & ruby fruits of; blackberries, dark plum that stretches into pudding, dark cherries, black raspberries, some boysenberries. Dark chocolate cake with buttercream frosting, mocha powder notes, melted, salted caramel, mid berry cola, light; clove, nutmeg, cinnamon & vanillin, dark, rich, sweet earth with dry leaves, some dry herbs, dark spice w/ some palate heat, limestone powdered, dry stone, soft leather & slightly dryish tobacco, sandalwood to barrel shavings, hints of lead pencil, touch of dry stems, fresh & slightly withering flowers that are; dark, red with lavender framed in liquid violets, excellent round acidity and a very well balanced, mid structured & tensioned finish that is elegantly polished and lasts a little more than a minute.
  
  Paired with an Allen Brother’s Filet Mignon. A good, well aged Napa Cabernet works well with a less/near no fat cut of meat.

  Decanted 1.5 hrs. Consistent, big, lively tastes of darker fruits. Nice mouth feel. Drinking well now.

  Well made Cabernet, but my palate has definitely change as this is no longer what I want in a wine. Nose of boysenberries and dark raspberries, nice mouth feel with Mexican chocolate overtones with fully resolved tannins.
  
  Problem I have with this style on wine now a days is the level of sweetness that makes me want to enjoy it with pancakes, not steak.
  
  It’s not you it’s me…

  Pretty good after an hour decant. Even better next day. Lovely bottle in its drinking window.
