“ A full bodied Cabernet, that floods all the pleasure centers, but it has powerful intensity, and a focused, feel alongside a backbone of freshness and contoured minerality.” - Master Sommelier Ian Cauble

Really good wine, medium bodied and refined...but a little too much sweet plum for me...dark fruit, boysenberry, sweet plum, blackberry and hints of vanilla

Really amazing wine for the price. Medium bodied but multi-layered with great complexity. Dark, inky, plum, black currant, cassis...a little bit too new world for my tastes but done exceptionally well and so drinkable!!

N: Vanilla (with a touch of smoke?) SLIGHTLY atop RIPE berries with notes of choc?
P: MF body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) met by an astringent pucker which QUITE resolves by the LONG, balanced finish with a tangy/swtness to the few, quite unoffensively firming, dusty tannins. For now with food, MIGHT improve a tad for 6-12 mos, then drink through '23. Nicely done in an approachable style, & with noteworthy QPR for *this* AVA! My EXC-; 94+ pts WA (Perrotti-Brown, 10/31/19). [Check with this vendor if interested in their *very* COMPETITIVE price.]
