The 2014 Crimson Clover is really starting to come together now. It is NOT that over-extracted "Cali cab" that many people crave. Rather, it is "reserved" and elegant, with dark plum, prune, licorice (just a hint) or iodine, and some sandlewood. Tannins are soft, but just enough to make this a full, rounded delight. Plenty of upside. Having 3 more bottles, I'll open one every two years to see how they continue to progress.

Nice bottle of cab. Powerful, has some good complexity. Not sensing much age on this. Can go another decade I'm sure but it's lovely to drink now.

Delicious wine. Deep and dark, lots of time left on this if you want it but there is no issue with drinking it now.
