In a good place....dark...nose of anise, boysenberry, seawater, kiwi edges. unfolds like it smells...subtle anise, deep boysenberry, cherry, tar, with kiwi edges. Nice integration and very nice complexity in a good new world cab. about 20 mins of air.

shared with pat at selkirk manor. the cork was intact but appeared to have a defect as there was a vertical stain line along the shank although there was no seepage through to the capsule. neverthelss, the wine was in perfect condition. this wine remains young and fresh. generous nose. rich mouth feel. plum and chocolate are more reminiscent of merlot than cabernet. this wine offers firm structure. it is developing very slowly. these two factors suggest that it may be even more enjoyable a year from now.

Note: I use a rating scale for which 85 represents a very good wine.
A bit from memory. Nothing too distinctive. A well made Calif Cab Sauv.

Nice bouquet. Slight hint of mint or eucalyptus. A touch on the thin side for me.
