Started decanting this morning as encouragement to start the 🦃 day prep work. Absolutely outstanding! Each hour getting better and better. TN: powerful oak full of blackberry fruits - one of my favorite wineries and honestly this didn't need a decant but enjoying the journey. #chriscarpenterisgod @cardinalewinery #thanksgivingwine

Raspberry chocolate aromas, big in mouth w/nice darker berry, smoked cedar box and earthy notes. Good length, and really well balanced.

100 point wine that might be good in 30 years. Overpriced!
