One of the top value cabs in the world! There is depth of flavor on the palate and full flavor with excellent balance. Alcoholic warmth not an issue. Medium plus complexity also. Tastes twice the price or more. Day two the kaleidoscope of cab fruits emerge even more fully. This one needs air to bring out these nuances and I’ll bet it’ll age to at least 2023. 93+

Deep ruby. Aromas of black plums, blackberries, mint, graphite, black pepper. On the palate the wine is a full bodied and dry, with medium plus acidity and tannins, some green notes. The flavors on the palate were black cherries, blackberries, toast, vanilla, coffee, black tea. Finish was was medium plus. While tasty now, this wine could continue to age another 5-7 years.

With the eucalyptus thing to it, but in a good way. And with structure, yet also probably acidified.

While the bouquet was lovely, the taste was not the same. It required an hour to breath before it was ready to drink. Too harsh when opened.

Tasted blind. Medium ruby. Black cherry, plum, blackberry jam, mint, cocoa, baking spices. Medium acid, medium tannin, high alcohol.
