Community Tasting Note

• msuwine wrote: 93 points

  March 6, 2020 - This extracted and lifted Cabernet is tasty and energetic, but it's currently too narrow and unformed to really be able to tell. Dark purple in color; medium in body (1% milk); nose of boysenberry, cardamon, and burnt embers. Tastes of blueberry pie, raspberry tart, graphite, and leather, with a silky though brief finish. 14.6% alcohol.
  
  I agree with most everything #1WineLover said about this wine, which doesn't have that chocolatey richness that Benoit brings to the gravely LPV profile. If you want a rich but lighter wine, this is for you, but I kept hoping for more complexity and nuance. 93+ for now, but I do think this might get better with a year or two. Decanting didn't seem to help here, since it seemed a bit more linear with air.
