1.5 hr decant and off to the races flirting with perfection for the rest of the evening. The nose jumps out at you with black currant, sour cherry, and blueberry pie. Lest you assume it’s going to be a fruit bomb, all kinds of menthol, cast iron, and loamy notes weave into the fruit on the palate. Tannins smoothly integrated on the finish that rides off into the sunset for a good couple of minutes. Sublime with Flannery ribeyes.

Two hour decant and open for business right off the bat. A deep well of black currant, fig pudding, vanilla bean, and spice box held in balance by a spritz of acidity and fine grained tannins. Great with wagyu ribeyes.

Decanted for an hour and followed over an additional three. Everything you want in a Rutherford Cabernet; cassis, macerated red cherry, dusty tannins, and a lovely cigar box note on the finish that became more prominent as the evening wore on.
