Dense coloring with ruby to garnet edges. Smells like dark and dark red fruits, farmyard funk, mushrooms, and graphite. Medium body, acid and finish, with flavors of cassis and blackberry, and graphite minerality. Smooth and tasty, if simple. Seems like it's made for the California Cabernet crowd.

3 years in my cellar and a P&P thru a Vinturi brought out the classic CdP I like so much. The "dumb phase" I wrote abouit in 2019 is GONE! A LOT left in this wine for the future. I am opening another because this was so enjoyable with its' bright fruit, garrique, baking spice and smooth palate feel.

PnP - a bit muted, so decanted for 30 minutes. Opened up very nicely to aromas of black fruits, cherries, tea, tobacco and earth. Fruit was spicy, slightly ripe and round (but not a fruit bomb!) with nice energy and complex flavors of black cherries, strawberries, forest floor and a bit of garrigue. displaying strong, spicy lift to the dark berry and floral pastille flavors. Finish was long with some smoke, spice, and dusty but modest tannins. Drinking superbly now, well stored bottles should remain at peak for 3+ years.

Classic light/Medium body CdP. Dry palate throughout with fine tannin finish.

Promising out of bottle but a little too much funkiness (garrigue?) develops after a couple of hours
