November 21, 2019 - Wow, classic old school SCM Cabernet and proof that Cabernet doesn't need to be over extracted and high in alcohol to be good.
Nice black cherry and other blue, black fruit up front with nice herbs and mineral notes all held together with good acid and a solid backbone of firm but ripe tannin.
Really nice wine for the future, will revisit in 8 to 10 but I think could go twice that.4 people found this helpful Comment -

April 6, 2019 - Punches above its weight. Really nice. Blue, brambly fruit with dark chocolate. Nice finish that makes me feel like it can easily hit 10 years.
