Found a ‘15 on a restaurant list. A blend of Cab Sauv (mostly), Merlot & Cab Franc, aged for 10 months in French oak, 35% new. Very dark red with big ripe fruit aromas with spice & oak notes. Flavors of blackberry, raspberry and currants mingle nicely with cacao and spice. Big full tannins that open up nicely. Lingering finish ending with some mineral notes. Should age well for next decade.

Nice support wine. Not super powerfully but a little higher in the alc level

Smashed raspberries & cocoa powder on the nose. Lush, full, grippy, & tannic. Fair amount of fruit & juice throughout, with raspberry & currant skins on the finish. Subtle milk chocolate & undertones of smoke. I’d imagine as this opens it’d get bigger and smokier. Beautiful Cab.

Bit fan of this. Bold but not over the top.

Deep, dark cab, with a bit of blending. NEEDS to open, then works wonderfully with meat courses.
