Decanted for an hour. There is red fruit and spice on the nose. I get ripe blue and red fruit on the palate with a medium finish. The tannins are really starting to soften. I will wait another couple of years before trying the last bottle.

I really enjoyed, a little more of an edge than their cab, but pleasantly different. Guess that's what they say about variety. Worked very well with a spicy marinade ribeye.

This was definitely still vibrant with dark cherry and plum aromas complimenting chocolate and tobacco savory notes. Tannins are angular and bold offering structure which will continue softening with time and improve the over the next couple years. Aromatics are persistent in this one!

This was a surprise! The nose was dark fruit but a lot of vanilla and chocolate/tobacco notes. Flavors followed with dark fruit overshadowed by the vanilla and tobacco and the tannins were very expressive giving the finish dry and long.
