Excellent. A rich, cool climate cab. Subtle nose of dark cherry, menthol, tobacco and earth. Dark cherry, blackberry, cinnamon, tar, black pepper, and white pepper on the palate. Amazing length on the finish, especially with the zesty spice. Notable complexity and depth. Give this a 2 hour decant at least.

This has really come together. Decant for 90 minutes.
Classic cab. A little reticent on the nose with fruit, cedar, and earth. Powerful flavors of dark cherry, tar, bell pepper, black pepper, tobacco, spice. Balanced acidity, flavor, and tannin. Very enjoyable.

Outstanding! Double decanted, on Christmas eve, let it sit sealed in the bottle overnight, and served around lunchtime Christmas Day. Beautiful aroma of mixed berry and vanilla. Fruit forward, but balanced by zesty baking spices, black pepper, cedar, and a touch of earth. A beautiful blend, indeed.
