April 26, 2024 - Deep, very dark reddish-purple in color, essentially opaque. Full, forward & fragrant nose of dark fruits aromas of cherries, blackberries & cassis with overtones of smoky oak/vanilla notes, earthy/dusty, mint/anise, spices, cocoa/mocha, herbs & minerals. Full bodied with a good concentration of somewhat balanced & smooth textured, plush & jammy, over-ripe dark fruit flavors of cherries, boysenberries & plums with spices, some dark cocoa, burnt sugar, minerals & oak/vanilla. Lingering finish with a hint of RS? Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing (more than 90 minutes). It is a bit heavy handed with jammy fruit flavors/aromas & thus, appears to be made for those who enjoy overly ripe & over extracted Cabernets. I question its age-ability given the high 15% alcohol level, but it seems it was made for near term consumption. I do not recall past vintages being quite like this. Is this an evolution of the brand looking to be the Caymus of Paso Robles?

April 24, 2024 - deep ruby, medium/light body, mild aromas of dark red/black fruits, bramble, flavors of sweet fruits balanced with moist earth, medium acid light tannins. decent everyday new world style, but not to my liking

April 22, 2024 - Floral-fruit nose. Blueberry compote, vanilla. Fruity, thick. Bright acidity keeps this from veering into syrupy. A satisfying crowd pleaser.

April 13, 2024 - Decent wine, quite fruit forward and a little over extracted IMO. On the sweeter side so not an every day Cabernet for me.
