Outstanding cab. One of the very best Pine Ridge cabs we’ve had in a long time. Super smooth but nowhere near its end, just got better and better as the evening went on. Gave it an hour of air upfront.

Nose of cassis, blackberry, hint of tobacco and anise / tarragon. Moderate acidity, sharp tannins but not too overpowering. Decent finish but the alcohol dominates a little more than I like.
Overall fairly well balanced, but did better with a nice strip steak than it did on its own. Probably needs 2 to 5 more years as a 2 hour decant helped.

Cassis, dark fruit, plums, and leather on the nose. Medium+ tannins with lots more of dark fruit on the palate. Medium finish. Needs time for the fruit to soften a bit. 92+
