Drinking very nicely now - no need to wait any more. Like a baby Monte Bello. Taut cabernet profile, with good medium bodied but ripe CA mountain fruit - some dried peach and wizened blackberries. Well balanced with leather, tobacco, orange peel and a bit of sandalwood. A hint of integrated American oak and friendly tannins as well. Not super complex but lovely.

Bordeaux-style blend of approximately 75% Cabernet, 22% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc.
Popped and poured and let this develop on the glass over the next hour. Smooth tannins with slightly tart raspberry, eucalyptus and spice. Had with a nice sous vide skirt steak.
Not a typical cab profile. Liked the wine, but not what was expected. Liked the wine, but will reserve judgement until it has had some more time to open up. Would have thought more cab franc than reported

Took to a party; had a small taste; ripe dark fruits, plush mouthfeel, but good enough acidity; good balance; very good value
