One hour decant. Deep rich ruby red color. Bright aromas of red and black berries, stone fruit and purple flowers. Silky palate is full of dark berries and cherries, dried herbs with floral and mineral notes. Tannins are polished and well integrated acid makes for a nice long finish.

Decanted 3 hrs. Whether it’s the maturity of the vines, better canopy management to ever increasing and fluctuating temps or just a celestial alignment, this is one of the better early taste near release Cadence wines I can recall. Perhaps, it will shut down soon, but the other day it was throwing a most enacting combo of both black cherry fruit and dark plums, the trademark Cadence violets, as well as the trademark elegance. The back half closes confidently in its delivery of minerals and other earthy matter, this is drinking very well now, and should age effortlessly.

Aromatic with Chocolate, mint, stone, plumb, and hints of cherry. Linear and silky, no heaviness or jam here. Drank over 2 days with little change. Really elegant for Red Mountain.

Double decant. Great freshness and purity. Very balanced. Almost no noticeable tannins. Pretty tasty.

One-hour screen decant. Good now but should improve over the next two-three years. The '18 Cadence wines are all showing well.

No formal notes as this was consumed with the Dundee neighbors in the snow. Quite inviting upon opening.
