Saturday, May 9, 2020 - Rich, full throttle Cabernet. Pronounced notes of blueberry pie filling and some lovely woody nose notes. This will improve over the next few years for sure, but already tasty with a proper decant. Only negative on this was some heat. It is a bit boozy but that is not a major detractor.

Decanted 4 hours at cellar temp and served at cellar temp. Saved one glass for the next day and the notes are consistent. A but smoother on day 2.

Lovely juice. Very impressed with the full range of wines I've tried from winemaker Kaplan.

    Sam + Oakville = a Killer Wine

    On another note, I really do need to get more of this, plus some of the 14’s...
