Saturday, October 10, 2020 - Method: blind; Cab glass; 62 degrees
Look: medium garnet with a bit of browning; a lot of very fast legs
Nose: jalapeno, paprika, sun dried tomato, cedar; nice, expressive nose
Palate: jalapeno, sun dried tomato, paprika, light sour cherry, bitter sweet chocolate; medium- finish of pepper, sour cherry, and celery; medium- body; medium- rough, drying tannin; medium acidity
Overall thoughts: This is nicely balanced and integrated and has a nice, interesting flavor profile, but it's really lacking of some umph, especially when considering the pretty short finish. Good wine, but not great for me. Perhaps this particular bottle was a bit past its prime.
