Elegant, Bordeaux style red. Very good structure though accessible now with a solid decant. Dark fruit, some subtle savory herb notes.

I think I’ve found my new favorite California Cabernet. I just I wish I had figured this out sooner. Great aromatics - black and red fruits and a touch of leather. Tannins were perfectly balanced. Loved the palate of currants, blackberry and just the right amount of acidity to keep it feeling youthful, but not edgy. All this from a vintage that was widely panned because it was a cold one for CA. . I lean towards cooler climates wines with bright acidity, so I guess this makes sense for my tastes.

Perfect with a fresh Salchicha Polaco de Pollo, Truffle Ravioli, and Basil Pesto from The Pasta Shop.
