From mag. 14.5% abv so it seems like the style used to be a bit riper than more recently. But it’s gorgeous. Big boisterous nose of blackberry, black currant, cinnamon, cedar and dried herbs. Very structured still, youthful even with beautiful dark fruit and fine tannins.

Making up for missing pick- up day with this lovely thing. Definitely large scale by a-r standards but very nicely defined and beautiful perfume.

Beautiful high-toned nose. Ultra-silky texture.

This has a fluffy nose that is red fruit dominated along with strong butter and green bell pepper notes. Medium intensity and medium complexity. The tannins are a little gritty on the palate and the fruit is not quite coming through. Medium length #arnotroberts #cabernetsauvignon #chalkhill #sonoma #ctbucklinwine

Very nice. Acid is there to battle all that stuffing. Tannin is soft, but abundant.
