A random pull, but such a surprise!! Decanted 40+ before first pour. Bright, clean, deep ruby color. Sturdy, well integrated tannins, I see this improving over the next 3-5 years. Plenty of dark fruit both in the nose and across the palate. Black Cherry, Cassis, traces of vanilla, medium to full body. New world style without being an over the top fruit bomb. This needs a follow-up in another year.

Robust, powerful cab. Tight,firm tannins. Might be a bit young still, so decant for at least half hour. Black cherries, balsamic, black olives, some hint of vanilla and licorice. Great PQR.

Decanted for two hours. Ponderous in color, and lively on the long palate, with copious amounts of fruit. The fine-grained tannins and evident acidity are joyous, with a fine frame. Cassis, black cherry, saw dust, black olive and white rock. I could see her aging nicely. Drink 2016 - 2024.

Dark ruby color, medium body, black berries, tasting somewhat too dry, medium minus finish. Good or the price...

Decent Cab - a bit tannic, tight on the palate. Mix of alcohol and grape juice aromas.
