Drinking well right now, although I think it is still on the young side. It will be interesting to see how it evolves. Agree with others, low acidity with a medium finish. Frankly, love the producer, although the price point on this is pretty steep.

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like raspberry, strawberry jam, cherry, flint, petrol, smokey bacon, medicinal, cedar, petrol, asparagus and bell pepper. It tastes like prune, fig, mushroom, forest floor, smokey bacon, phenolic, sandalwood, lead pencil and almond. The body is medium. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

An exceptional wine, one of the best wines from from Virginia, by far. I believe it could compete with the best wines in the world. This wine, 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, is very young and benefited highly from a 90 minutes decant. This wine brings both huge flavor, as well as exceptional complexity. This wine is more similar to a fine Bordeaux than a Napa Cab. Somewhat subdued on the nose, but dark fruits are very prominent. On tasting, high tannin, high alcohol, but well balanced. A balance of great fruit flavors, along with earthy tones. Overall, exceptionally well balanced and complex. Amazing wine

1hr decant. Black cherry, black plum, leather, black pepper and touch of oak. Medium+ body, medium acidity, long finish. Evolving nicely.
