Distributor Tastings (CV) (CV): C: med+ garnet. N: IBMP - low, probably below most people's thresholds. Not a lot of fruit, though - incomplete grape ripening. Well-integrated oak (apparently, large Foudres of french oak - I guessed Fr!). P: med body, med- tannins, med acid. Some bitterness, but not bothersome. I like this, but it's a bit one-dimensional. Not what most people are looking for in CA cab.
