  Pleasant, but would benefit from more bottle time....

  A lighter bodied, more acidic and lean cab, with bright red raspberry fruits and smooth tannins. Fiils out as it gets more air time, the fruit darkens and it adds a more zesty and licorice component. I don't think it will last a long time but it's drinking nicely for the present.

  Took a little while to open. Consistent with prior notes.

  Aroma of dusty herbs blanketing a bowl of dark fruits. Like eating a bowl of blueberry cobbler in the basement with the lights off and accidentally grabbing the oregano and sage spice jar instead of the rainbow sprinkles and giving it a thorough dusting. Flavor is more herbs and black fruit but with an amazing milk chocolate Raisinette on the mid palette finishing with good balance of vanilla oak and light tannins. Good structure and balance.
