98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc Stagecoach on Atlas Peak. Softer style than the Ramey. Again blue fruit of the nose. Same with the Verasion stagecoach earlier in the fall. Lingering tannins.
79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec. Inky palate. Very chewy. I wish there were time to decant this. Right now, it's kind of unapproachable without some air. or time to air, more like it.
