My wife said it best, this brought to the fore the best dried chocolate covered cherries as you drink it. The tannins are so silky now to be almost unnoticeable. Really drinking nicely and doesn't need food to be delicious at this point. Decanted for 30 minutes.

A brighter, fruit driven style with great acidity to back up the fruit. Along side the fruit hints of black licorice show through. The oak plays nice and is in line with the fruit, over all an enjoyable, balanced wine. Consistant with previous vintages I've had, this has a fresh style to it.

Nice finish, a bit of pepper. Current up front, hint of leather

Lots of fruit loaded on a frame of fine tannin that needs some time to catch its breath. Popped and pored.

More fresh and fruity than most Cabs, and smooth and delish.
