Sprightly, transparent garnet/purple in the glass, nose doesn’t billow fo me, and is a tad muted. Palate shows cassis, a hint of blueberry, and deft application of oak. Very smooth. Opens up with some air although the profile doesn’t change significantly it is much more approachable and open - quite lovely; some subtle whisps of chocolate can be found. Overall, for the $110 price-point, this provides some complexity that make for a very cerebral experience. Can drink now, but open for 1-2 hours before, has structure to age, but maybe not the bulk.

A very pleasing cab. Not a traditional, big Napa Cab. A bit soft; didn’t feel the big tannins. Decanted and drank half. Rebottled and finished the next day. The second day it was as good or better. A nice drinking experience.

Flagship Cabernet Sauvignon Tasting at Tre Posti (Saint Helena): A would-be improvement from the 2013 version of this wine, except that the 2015 suffered from similar idiosyncrasies associated with an overt plummy aftertaste that muddled any real pleasurable aspect of consumption. Plum, cedar, plum, cedar, plum, cedar...and plum...
