Thursday, June 28, 2018 - Tasted at Lytton Springs.
First - this wine needs to go to the corner and settle down! It is way too young to drink now. But there is greatness ahead.
It is 75% Cabernet, 18% Merlot, 5% Cab Franc and 2% Petiti Verdot. It is made with 80% new American for one year and then another year at the wine makers election.
It is a medium Ruby color with strong aromas of strawberry, leather and smoke. It is dry with a full body. It has high tannins and medium acidity. Fair balance but it will improve with age. Flavors of red raspberry, black tar and cassis. Long finish. Needs time!
