Opened after the Arnot Roberts 2014 Sonoma Coast Syrah. This was aromatic and balanced but did not come across as a Cab Franc. Quite heavy and full. Probably should have listened to others and decanted before pouring, or maybe better yet let it sit a few more years.

Great structure, but still young and needs a few more years to come together. Recommend a long decant if drinking before then. Revisited 3 days after opening and it was significantly improved.

Blue and black fruit, plum, pepper and black olive. Herbal nose. Rich and full bodied, soft tannins and long finish
