Perfectly aged CA Cabernet. Nose was effusive and still energetic with red fruit, strong pencil lead, tobacco, and some faint oak spice.
There was layers of red fruit- plum, cassis, cherry, faint cranberry and pomegranate. Mid-palette showed tobacco, earth, faint minerals along with red fruit with a very silky long finish of similar flavors. Perfectly balanced with moderate acidity keeping the wine fresh. Tannins mostly resolved and wine is in peak drinking window, but will hold for many more years and should make it to its 20th birthday. Drink now-2025.

Beautiful- really rich and complex. Perfect age- still has lots of backbone, but has nice finess now too.

Nose is elegant smoke and raspberry. Good body, has aged well. Tasted at the winery tasting room.
