I opened this, thinking a 2014 would be ready to drink. Boy it still feels a bit young upon opening - lots of acidity. This is a 50/50 blend of Cab Sauv and Cab Franc. After about two hours, it begun to open up nicely. Berry fruit, leather and tobacco make for a deeply flavored wine. Long finish still has some tannins - lots of life yet in this bottle.
