94 Points

Sunday, June 24, 2018 - Decided to revisit because I'm considering buying more. Once again, really smooth coupled with solid depth and a nice purity. Vibrant flavors of dark berries, some spice/licorice, and a little mineral/graphite component. Decent finish but not overly long nor deep - once again, I believe this vintage will benefit from another 6 to 12 months to let the fruit hopefully open-up/fill-out a little more especially on the back-end. Decanted for one hour and drank over a couple more. Improved a little with time. Although I haven't had the 2016 vintage yet, no surprise that with Mike's description of the 2016 vintage he states that the vineyard has matured tremendously over the past two years. This vintage is very different from any other vintage that I've had of this wine and the potential to be my favorite of Mike's entry level cabs with a little more time.
