Dark red fruit on the nose. Gets better after 2 hour decant. Silky smooth medium length finish. Really not a lot of uniqueness on the finish, but enjoyable. Went great with grilled tri-tip steak. This still has a couple of years left for sure.

A little pencil shavings and dark red fruit on the nose, dark in the glass, medium to full mouthfeel. Has a certain smooth velour like quality in the mouth. Wanted to give this a 91 like my CT brethren but the longer it's open the better it gets. Great fruit, cedar and tannins throughout. Nice acidity, maybe just a bit simple on the very end. Black fruit helps the ending. I'm finding it hard to find anything negative about this very nice red blend.

Good out of the bottle - I found that it diminished slightly with an hour of decanting.
Open and enjoy without delay
