Naples Wine Cave. Great nose, Big tannic wine. Lacking in fruit and paled in comparison to the line up of Carter cabs I was tasting earlier. Perhaps if it had hours of air it would have performed better so I don't want to short change but not quite superb tonight.

huge - big and aggressive tannins. very dark nose of plum, black cherry and blackberry. pleasant fruit, but lay this down - tannins are tough as a $2 steak.

Deep in color, the wine is lushly textured, rich, fat, dense, concentrated and packed with ripe, sweet, delicious ripe dark fruits, oak, licorice and dark chocolate. Forward and already fun to drink, I really liked this wine.

MW Institute 2013 American Cabernet Tasting, nose of blackberry, heat, and a hot, dusty, road in summer, same on the palate, big body, mouth filling fruit, fairly fruit forward, mediocre fruit, small amount of harsh tannins, OK tasting, medium finish.

Still maturing. After decanting it became a mouthful of beautifully balanced Cabernet.
