  Tasted on day 3 from a magnum. Still a very young wine. Bottle showing no signs of oxidation at all. Sweet red fruits. Almost getting some hints of Champoux fruit in here. Maybe they declassified a few barrels and added it to this tank before bottling? Who knows but this is singing and it is a screaming good deal. Excellent balance and good persistence.

  Full bodied Cab with a well integrated oak presence. Ripe dark fruit and mint. Excellent.

  Washington State Trade Event (North Loop, Minneapolis, MN): Wow my brother and I agree on something with the 91 point score. Red currants, spice, mild oak and floral notes. Medium finish and balanced overall.

  Very nice for Januik's basic Cabernet. Nice red fruits. Great tension between acid and fruits. Very young. Will benefit from a few years of ageing. Some graphite notes on the palate. Nice long finish.

  One of the better multi-vineyard Januik cabs in recent years. Drank over multiple nights. Young, but showing well. Great texture, depth, and balance.
