Decanted. Deep, opaque, black-garnet color with purple-ruby edges, brightly toned. Showing classic Cabernet aromatics - Black cassis & red currant, pink peppercorn, hints of green pepper, pipe tobacco, cedar, clove, paprika, rosemary. Juicy, ripe and concentrated on the palate, with generous plum and blackcurrant flavors highlighting secondary depth of roasted coffee, iron & graphite, baking spices, black tea and fresh herbs. Broadly-framed & full-bodied, deftly balanced with medium-acidity with full tannins, ripe and smooth, finishing full concentrated length. Excellent. Drink/hold.

Decanted for two hours. Tasted right after bottle opened and wine opened up nicely. Soft on the edges with full body, paired well with grilled tenderloin and a bite of dark chocolate. Looking forward to see how this wine matures!

White Rock Vineyard visit- 8/19/16: Beautiful cabernet nose- aromas of anise, leather, violets, spices, currant, cedar and tobacco. Rich and intense palate, refined and stylish. Shows big black currant fruit, with mineral complexity, lavender, savory spices, cedar and leather. Huge, broad structure and a big finish. Awesome wine-needs to 10+ years to maximize its potential.

Very good wine, will definitely improve with age. Well balanced and I would highly recommend this one.
