I think I might have waited a little too long to open this guy, it felt a bit still fermenting and some noticeable bubbles showed up when I popped it. I did settle a bit after a while and I enjoyed it.

This wine is all chocolate and iron. It has the trademark balance of Beaux Freres, but among the lineup this one is the most brooding and massive Coffee, coffee cake, mocha, cinnamon, iron filings. Tight gripping tannins. This will please crossover Cab drinkers. Great wine but I prefer the more elegant and floral offerings from the label.

Still young but wanted to try some of these single vineyards. Give it 2-3 years in bottle to further develop.

Cherries and blackberries on the nose. Nice minerality through the finish.
