Didn’t take great notes. Subtle aromas of black fruit. Dark purple/plum in the glass. Full in body. Ripe black fruit, medium+ tannins. Enjoyed the 17 much more.

As others have noted, this is surprisingly accessible for an ‘18 CA cab. The tannins are there but hidden behind really lovely, ripe dark fruit. Not sure where this goes with more time in the cellar, as it’s showing so well already. Enjoy!

First time w this wine. I’ve really enjoyed the Grenache from Chiron. I read in the winemaker notes this had a very long maceration time, and it showed w the remarkably smooth tannins despite its youthful age. Very balanced. Classy Cab, I enjoyed it thoroughly. Can drink now or I’m sure it will age well for years.
