Barely opened up after 2 hours decant. Some cedar notes, but also oak. Very firm tannins Could go another few years likely. Making me think I need to buy an few more bottle of a newer vintage.

Great wine. Still needs a couple of years to reach its peak. Great with food and good to sip. Dark fruits with a lot of structure. Delivers what you expect from a Cabernet Sauvignon.

41/26/21/8/4 Cabernet/Cab Franc/Malbec/Merlot/Petit Verdot. Medium nose shows dark fruit, black plum, mocha, violets, blackberry, red plum, hints at soft style of a blend. Palate matches, layers of easy black fruit, espresso, sweet spice, fresh herbs underneath, mocha note again, has that velvety softness of style that I associate with Sonoma vs a big Napa cab. By the 3rd taste, the tannins build to show medium plus, but still with smooth presentation. Not incredible value at the price point, but also fairly earns it's spot in quality. Another I would love to see in 5-10 years.

Nice blend. Dark fruit, hint of spice. Overpriced for a blend IMO
