September 6, 2015 - Lots of those tart currants on the nose, some stronger smoke and espresso aromas too. Similar notes to May 2015, but I feel like this is smoother even with just a few months. The tannins are still plenty structured but the wine has a smoothness to it that’s quite nice. Lots of spice, coffee, toasty oak but the fruit is tangy yet bold enough to balance it out well.

May 5, 2015 - Some Blind Cabs: Rich, bright purple color. Nose shows tart red and black currants, black cherries, also some tobacco, bay leaf, charcoal and bitter coffee notes. Full bodied, the tannic structure is solid but they’re not too harsh around the edges, medium acid. The black currant fruit is plenty ripe but showing tart aspects as well, lots of spicy tobacco, charcoal, chicory coffee, root beer notes. A bold and structured wine, but still showing an approachable personality. I like the spice aspects. Toasty oak on the finish, but it doesn’t overwhelm the other aspects. A bit harsh upon first opening, but opens up and gets smooth.
