January 16, 2018 - PnP. Color is a deep, somewhat transparent purple, fading to a touch of red then orange at the edge. Initially no aroma. With some swirling darker boysenberry, blackberry and blueberry aroma appear with some vanilla. On the palate the wine the darker berries, some acidity, light tannin leaving a mouth-watering finish with some peppery notes. Body is light+ maybe to medium-. Drinking with a dinner of chicken in a mild, chili verde, a pot sticker pork stirfry with cabbage, steamed kale, steamed broccoli, garlic green beans, tex mex corn and some macaroni and cheese. The wine comes across as light and food friendly. Quite good with food. The wine feels like it is opening up more after about 20 minutes.

February 14, 2016 - Delicate & lean food friendly Cabernet that would best pair with pork or lighter meats. You could call this classic styled.
No hurry with this bottle as I think it will open up with more time. Well done, and just a little light today upon opening.
