Another pop and pour production on saturday afternoon! Very nice color in the glass - not deep, dark purple; not thin either. Definitely oak (and a discussion on the merits of American New Oak, French New Oak, and New Oak - all of which the bottle said were used in the production of this wine???) with a hint of pepper and vanilla (my apologies for sounding like a cheap hollywood b flick). Wine improved with air in the glass.

15% ABV. 50/50 Cab-Syrah. Dark garnet translucent in the glass. Showing lots of polished oak on the nose. Sweet currant fruit followed by some closed/firm tannin. This is okay, but I couldn't get excited about it.

Fabulous marriage of cabernet and syrah, but not a long lasting one. On downhill slope, but very enjoyable.

Outstanding. Delicious nose, mouth, and finish. It's in a perfect place right now.
