Giving this a modest score because it needs to open up more. Used a Venturi on this glass, nice wine, smooth but with some grip. Crushed, dry fruit, a bit more alcohol heat than I expected. This is a Cab. Sauv. lovers merlot.

I really like this wine, but it does need some time to open up. A whole day is about right. Rich, ripe and dry fruit. Dry but soft like crushed velvetNice, light toast.

Needed at least two hours to open up. Surprisingly smooth.
