PnP'd but needed a bit of time and air so decanted remainder for ~1hr. Definitely coming into its drinking window but throwing off a lot of sediment or flotsam as a wine-loving sailing friend likes to say about the residue in his bottles and glasses! Fruit is evolving from secondary to tertiary - blackcurrant jelly and fig paste. Unavoidable vanilla layer from the oak treatment. Medium plus body and finish. Paired well with charcuterie and some homemade split pea and ham soup with sourdough boule. Great winter wine.

Dark purple bowl, fading lighter to the rim. Forest floor, tobacco, plums, cooked berries on the nose. Palate is graphite, musty wet leaves, cooked cherries, blackberries, hints of spice. Medium acidity and tannins.

I've been to the winery many times and am fond of the tines. They are solid, balanced and attractive cabs at a nice price, and this is no exception.

New world dark red fruit with burnt toast and a touch of oak and earth, modest complexity and finish
