Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 16, 2017 - Nice wine.
Dark red with a hint of purple, I thought it would be darker.
At first, very closed and one dimensional. After some time in the glass much nicer.
Cherries and more ripe red fruit and lots of oak on the nose.
On the palate very soft tannins, I thought they would be stronger and it makes me think this has about 3 years left on it. Very sweet oak/cedar. Ripe red fruit.
As Californian Cabernet Sauvignons go, this is quite gentle, but still full of flavour and all the characteristics you'd expect of a Cali CS.
We're having it with a rib eye on the bone with chestnut mushrooms and green beans.
