February 6, 2020 - Deep-dark reddish-purple in color with ever-so-slight clearing at the edges. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of spice & floral notes, earthy/dusty, minerals, dried herbs, anise, some cocoa notes & a slight touch of vanilla in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with cocoa, herbs, spices, minerals, & a hint of vanilla. Long lingering finish. Drinks well at present with decanting & airing, but at 14 years of age, it is approaching its peak of development although it should hold onto its present plateau for several more years if cellared properly. A blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot & 10% Cabernet Franc from the Seven Hills Vineyard.
