  Big Wine! Huge nose. Plum, sugar cane, blue fruit. Touch of menthol Deep purple color. Almost no meniscus. FAT on the palate. Nice dark, blue fruit forward. 14.9% alcohol presents hot. Medium high tannin. Really developing well. Still lots off room in this one. Great wine for rich beefy dishes!!

  Very good but needed more time to open up or more cellar time.

  PNP from a 57 degree active cellar through Zevro aerator. Very expressive nose of plum, sugar cane, blueberry essence, and menthol. This predominant Cabernet / Merlot blend poured a dark purple. Nice and refreshing flavors of plum and dark fruits on the palate with a slight alcohol persistence on the close. Moderate fine grained tannin. Paired with fresh ground brisket burgers and tomato salad. May develop some secondary characteristics with a few years, but drinkable now. Tasty !

  Nice, but very typical Cali cab. Hoping for more. Medium to full bodied.
