Used for stew. Good use. Still don’t like this wine. Too tart and too much cherry. No depth of layers, no Bordeaux earthiness.

Had high hopes, but the 2020 is not as complex or balanced as the 2019.
Grade=A. Really delicious cab. Fruit forward and sweet enough (v. mountainside grapes), but a lot of complexity in flavors that kept unfolding without harsh spice, alcohol heat, or tannins.
