This was tasting good out of the bottle, and even better with a 3 hour decant. Deep layers of red and black fruits twist and turn between purple flowers, baking spices, leathery tobacco and cedar wood.
There is nothing you wouldn't expect from a Sonoma cabernet, but this bottle delivers the whole package with extra aromatic intensity and a long finish that sharply contrasts the light-weight body.
Very pleasurable and easy to drink - the bottle vanished quickly.

Benefitted for a short decant. Beautiful aromatics with red and dark fruits, blackberry, plum, cherry, spice, floral and light oak. Medium body with red fruits, blackberry, plum, spice, floral, tobacco, light oak. Seemed slightly sweet. Soft tannins in a long finish. Much more approachable than expected. Lots of upside ahead.
