Thursday, October 11, 2018 - My first Quivet Cab, and Mike Smith's Quivet brand has earned my respect with this release. An oak-filled attack is followed by quite a deep mid-palate of dark fruit, stone, minerals, and delight (that last one is not really a taste, but I know it when I taste it.) The finish goes on forever (the lawyers let me say that because forever is not really a time.)

Earning just a point off my rating of the 2015 Vice Versa Cabernet Sauvignon BBS Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard at about one-third the cost is proof positive that Quivet intends to take on the best and retain customers. Cheers!

Decanted for 2 hours, then stored air-free overnight, and finished on day two. More intensity on day one, but enjoyed both.
