March 9, 2020 - This juicy and unformed Cabernet may have greatness in its future, but it currently tastes too saccharine and top-heavy to be that exciting, at least to me. Cherry red in color; full in body; nose of blueberry jam, cherry liqueur, menthol, and anise. Tastes of cherry pie, black licorice, and baking spices, with a soft and tart finish. 15.2% alcohol.
This wine has a tremendous amount of fruit ("gobs" fits here), but I'm not sure if time in bottle will make it tip over or come together. I can see how some critics loved this (JS 98, WA 97+), but I have to imagine their scores are more a prediction for this wine's future than a description of its present. A little better on second day. 92 for now, with upside if it integrates, perhaps in 2022 or later.1 person found this helpful 2,125 views
