Overly expressive masculine Napa Cab. Fully extracted black fruit, chocolate, and all that. To me the best feature of this wine is its lively beautiful fruit aromas

Received partial bottle from my oenophile neighbor 14.7% abv 87% - Cabernet Sauvignon; 7% - Cabernet Franc & 6% - Merlot CT Drink through 2030
Had a sip. Deep dark red on the pour; Opaque in the glass. Bottle had some sediment coating the inside. Blackberry & Cassis along with floral hints and leather on the nose. Palate of Blackberry, Cassis, and Dark Cherry. Bold and Hearty. Grippy tannins, but not overpowering, just leaving some mouth pucker. Nice acidity. Tart, long finish. Spouse Liked.

Pulled cork an hour ahead, did not need decanting, opened up with rich varietal characteristics. Deep ruby color, dark cherries, bit of leather. A generous wine, long finish, not overly tannic but a capable food wine, served with grilled ribeyes.
