Excellent first outing. Tasted more like a Bordeaux blend than a straight cab. Not unlike Justin Isosceles back when they were good. You can really taste the fruit. Earthy sweet and sour. I could see this getting much more complex, but it is great young as well. Would for sure recommend.

Blind Night (Jock): Dark ruby color. Black currant fruit on the nose. Tastes of blackberry, mocha, cherry, currant and charred oak. Good balance. Rich powerful finish with fine grained tannins. Impressive how well this wine is knit together at such a young age. A guilty pleasure. My 2nd wine. 15.3% alcohol.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep ruby color. Nose of sweet boysenberry jam. Tastes of black cherry, charred oak, anise, earth and mocha. Expansive mid palate with nice depth. Long elegant finish with beautiful complexity and richness. 15.1% alcohol.

Blackberry fruit with an overwhelming oak backone. Hot and alcoholic. Most likely an off bottle or this wine has fallen off a cliff...

I'm not normally a cab drinker but this one wins me over. Great balance and fun to drink.
