  Plus and minuses in this wine. The pluses overwhelm the minuses quite a bit. On the upside, the nose is pretty admirable, conveying complexity, intensity, and fruit that evidently comes from the power of the varietal. Thus this wine shows character, nice pedigree (terroir), and general structure AND flesh. Character speaks about the identity of Cabernet Sauvignon, which in this wine is very evident and remarkable. Pedigree combines terroir and concentration of fruit. Structure shows well and pleasant. Flavors evoke raspberry and nice notes of strawberry, with ever so slight notes that blend with structure and taste like radish and very slight cabbage. The finish is long, or very long. The acidity is so appreciable. The downside.. maybe a bit short on resources and a bit monotonous. But the varietal shines bright, and terroir also comes through. For the price, this wine is killer.
