  This is a very well made Napa red, with the extra precision you get from coming from one of the high elevation sub-appelations (Spring Mountain).
  
  I recently enjoyed their 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon as well, also from Spring Mountain. That wine still had very prominent tannins, albeit the powdery fine-grained type you get from Napa wines.
  
  By adding Merlot and Cabernet Franc to this wine, the tannins are considerably softened. I maybe only got a hint of Cabernet Franc flavors like bell pepper, but the inclusion of that grape along with the Merlot introduced acidity while cutting through the Cab Sauv tannins.
  
  So I don't think the wine is too soft. Rather, it's pretty well balanced for drinking now with substantial main courses like steak. This will let you rest the Juslyn 2018 Cab Sauv's for another three to five years, since this will provide what you're looking for in a bottle meant to drink now.

  Opened for a wine club tasting. double decanted twice to get some air on the young wine. On the light side of medium for a Bdx blend, sort of delicate with good balance and structure for what it is. Not my favorite but three or four had it in their top three or two. Have another one and will wait at least five years.

  Very nice fruit forward wine. Smells of Rasberry and the taste is fruity but complicated. Aftertaste is pretty wonderful and keeps you thinking about having another sip. Highly recommend for a nice dinner with red meat.
