A special treat. I have enjoyed the 2012 Merlot as a lovely value wine. This cab was mistakenly included with recent case I bought of Merlot. The cab was smooth and rich with nose that opened up after three hours decanting.

Mature, the wine had cherry and red fruits on the nose followed by soft mature fruit flavors of more cherry and red fruits that were slightly faded. The finish was silky smooth of medium length with completely resolved tannins and just a tad of oak. A bit simple overall, but very enjoyable nonetheless. Drink up, this wine won't get better as the fruit is definitely starting to fade.

Light garnet in color, this possesses a beguiling & complex aroma. The nose is of cedar & currants. Requires a modest 45-60 minute decant. Chocolate, blackberries, blueberries. Smooth mouthfeel finishing with dusty tannins.

Still lots of fruit. Tons of mint/menthol on the nose. Was delicious. Easily 5 years left in this one.
