Spice in the nose, with black currants and cherries and some spice. Fruit-driven, with nice acidity, lots of currants and cherries, menthol/eucalyptus notes, some mineral, grippy tannins, and a nice, spicy, slightly oaky ending that goes on for a while. Textbook, good quality Cabernet from Napa - I would say in a great spot now but I see potential for further improvement in the next 3-4 years.

Color is dark purple. Aroma dark fruit, a little vanilla and menthol on the nose. Flavor, dark blackberry, coconut, and vanilla. Not very complex or interesting. Pleasant drinking but nothing extraordinary. It can age at least two more years. Fruit still seemed fresh. Maybe it will become more interesting with cellar time.

Wine opens to a dark inky purple color on rim of glass. Aromas of dark fruit and a little funk. Flavors of dark fruit even some raspberry come out after a decant for an hour. Slight oak with med - high tannins. Very full body wine that is a pleasure to drink with a steak or even some bbqed grilled hamburgers. In my opinion the value for price ratio is acceptable.
