Bright purple color with big legs. Nose of blackberry jam, black currant, oak, and graphite. Rich sweet black fruit and blueberry with a tart underbelly, couched in mocha, gravel, and vanilla bean. Dry finish with loads of minerals and iron along with sweet boysenberry and cherry fruit. Soft tannins and light herbal notes flow along into the finale.

Nose of freshly baked blackberry pie with black plum and spice. Dry blackberry and black fruit flavors with peppery notes. Dry clay finish with black fruits and earthy spice.

Popped and poured this guy after already enjoying several 2014 cabs (Quivet LPV; Corra Melanson; VHR; Realm Houyi).
As one would expect, this was a step down in class from those wines. I enjoyed a glass (as did our guests), but it was just a solid wine; nothing spectacular. And can likely use some more time in the cellar.

Really enjoyed this wine. It is hitting its stride. Dark fruit with complimentary tannins.

Big wine, dark, almost black, huge fruity nose of blackberries, dark fruits, nice structure, well integrated tannins, long finish, a crowd pleaser
