Fresh rendition of cabernet that has a lingering mineral streak that runs right through the dark red and black fruit.

Nov 9th, 2017Deep purple. Getting some green pepper notes in the nose along with blackberry and coffee bean. Tannins pretty mellow on day 2. Dark Chocolate, spice and a little menthol. Nice wine.

Apr 16th, 2019Opened up after a couple days. Initially tannins were harsh with soft berry flavors but softened by time as dark fruits were more prominent and tannins softened.
