Seven Hills, Pepper Bridge, Les Collines, and Goff vineyards. Aged in 88% French, 6% Hungarian, and 6% American oak (30% new). 14.1% alcohol. 4,833 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.

Similar impressions as the last bottle, from my last bottle. Too much oak/tar and awkward tannins from the oak still linger, and not really expressive of the varietal or blend. Not bad, but not very exciting or memorable either. Not good QPRl (B).

A quick raspberry jam and creamy nose that quickly gave way to a more bold, smokey bacon fat, nose. On the palate I was getting roasted tomatoes, grilled meats, some light smoke, dirt, with a coffee bean finish. a good BBQ wine.

Nicely dialed back, this Cabernet aims to please. The fruit has softened offering more elegance and composure than I last remember. Doesn’t appear this will be a long term ager after all, as the bright acidity has faded and seems to be peaking now.
