Mostly black and blue fruits with the red fruit recessed in the background, expresso roast, dusty gravel and a touch smokey.

Lean body, bright mid red fruits, softer minerals, red and pink roeses, decent balance and good acidity.

Delectable may correct but this is the 3 Palms, Cabernet is black and blue fruits, black licorice, smoke, crushed rocks with minerals. Still a little astringent and bity.

Nice structure - a touch mellow and light on the finish, though. Expected slightly better for the price point.
