Community Tasting Note

La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine:

Sunday, March 31, 2024 - This deep ruby wine is a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, aged for 19 months in French oak barriques (37% new). On the nose, it offers plentiful Bing cherry and red currant fruit that is accented with bittersweet chocolate, baking spices, hazelnuts and tobacco. Medium-bodied, freshly acidic, seamlessly alcoholic (14.5%), proportionately oaked and with medium sweet tannins, it delivers flavors mirroring the nose and has good mid-palate density. Medium-to-long and smooth on the back end, this is an enjoyable Cab that should provide plenty of pleasure throughout the remainder of this decade. Serially sampled over a three-hour interval from a bottle that had been popped and poured, it was immediately expressive but ramped up to a nice plateau after the first hour of air. Drink now-2030.
