Well played red, imparting some of that elusive tar note I enjoy.

Medium ruby in color, a bit light than I would expect. Nose is a little funky with black and red fruit mixed with slight hints of smoked meat. I also get a strange bubblegum note as well. Medium bodied with lower tannins than I would expect. This one seems a bit disjointed, and I prefer their regular knights valley cab to this reserve, at least on this vintage. I was expecting more.
