The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like cherry, prune and oak. It tastes like flint, oak, cherry, prune and blueberry. The body is medium/full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity. Great on the first day, even better the next. Lots of Syrah but the cab cuts the fruit and balances very well.

I like Cab/Syrah blends as a rule, so this was in my wheelhouse. Full fruit flavors of plum/blackberry/blueberry, with a wet stone mineral backbone. Nose was a little muted. Seems like there is little reason to wait, drink up.

Tried it over two days. Really enjoyable on the second day with lots of fruit still showing. Should be good for the next year or so still.

consistent with notes of 1/25/2014 - nose seemed a little more forthcoming
