  Decanted three hours. Inky ruby color. Cassis and dark fruit notes with chocolate undertones. Fine, sweet tannin with black fruit and kirsch flavors.

  PnP, consumed over 3 hours. Appearance: Clear, medium-deep ruby. Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity with developing aromas of black cherry, blackberry, bell pepper, cedar, graphite, and violet. Palate: Dry, medium+ acid, medium+ gripping tannins, medium+ body, medium intensity, 14.7% abv is masked quite well with flavors of cedar, tart black cherry, and bell pepper with a medium+ finish.
  
  Balance: Very good - tart fruit and green notes dominate
  Length: Excellent
  Intensity: Very good
  Length: Excellent
  
  Overall, an enjoyable cabernet while aged 18 months in French oak (unknown new %) the oak isn't apparent as this comes across as bright and fresh, though the fruit feels a bit under-ripe and green notes dominate. Still youthful, but I don't see this as a long ager. Likely better in 1-2 years and good for 2-4 years thereafter.

  A nose of some dark fruits and spice, garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red, with blackberry, plum, cocoa and spice on finish, good not great. www.winelx.com

  Green fruit to it. Or rather just a touch of green. Rugged Sonoma I am being told and that really kind fits. Just a tiny splash of Petit Verdot in there. And that kinda hits it actually. Just opened so showing better and better.
