A very well made California Cabernet that brings in ample dark red fruit, cassis, eucalyptus, and some faint rusticity in tilled soil vibes (Chile). In time s hint of dark tobacco wants to emerge, but nothing to really take it outside of being recognizable as a dry (sugar) California Cab without being overly rich or being underweight. The leaner middle shows the attributes of the 2017 vintage, which works just fine for me. Drink!

Amazing wine. Strong Cabernet note on the nose with blackberry, earthy, and rosemary. Taste is really mellow and well Integrated with very soft tannins. Love it

Doesn't smell like smoke at all. Has this Swedish smell to it. I realize that makes no sense but it reminds me of a Swedish smorgasboard. Lots of red fruit on the nose and more lifted on the palate than I would expect.

Nose very subdued after PnP and 30 min in the glass, mostly burnt caramel and tobacco; the palate although somewhat dark surprised me with hits of bright raspberry and blackberry, with a little bit of rock at the end, tannins are fine but present and hover with some red apple peel
