Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (91.3%) and Merlot (8.7%). A bit tight and unexpressive right out of the bottle. After a 45 minute decant, this wine was awake and very alive. Dark ruby color. Aromas of graphite, forest floor, wet gravel and dark black fruit. Flavors of black currant/cherry/berry/plum, tobacco, baking spices, dark chocolate and minerals. Distinct notes of smoky oak and wet earth on the long and lingering finish. Tannins were a bit lighter than expected at first but developed with aeration. Quite savory, rich, full bodied and powerful. Beautiful texture. Exceptional (once it opened up) but not the bottle of near perfection that I had heard so much about. Thanks for sharing, Petey and Happy Birthday, Kase! — 11 days ago

beautiful fruit. Strawberry and plummy fruit. A hint of tangy minerality around the edges. Still quite fresh and bright. A great bottle — 8 hours ago

Oh my god that nose. Melon, beeswax, floral, spice, going in and out of closed. Finding its focus. A fierce rocky minerality as well. But needs more air. Palate is just absurd. Unreal density but also plumpness. Super textured and like an icing on the cake and the most insane restrained richness and grip. Concentrated and so so deep. Unreal balance, purity and finish. Nose is heaven. Just so ethereal and not a hair out of place. Crazy inner mouth aromas. Perfect fruit capture. Unreal freshness and acidity and it leaves your mouth in a state of vinous arousal. Juicy and nimble. So engaging and the juiciness is just stunning and the standout characteristic for this wine. I swish so hard and there is no hair out of place. Palate is insane 24 hours later. Mineral blast, sick purity, iodine and saline. Sweet minerals. — 12 days ago

On the nose, chiseled, saline notes that provide backbone and vibrancy. Pears, white flowers and slate flow through to the chiseled finish. — 19 days ago
