Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
Took the office to the track. A few decent choices. Winning at a good clip through 4 races.

Jul 29th, 2017Lots of muted fruits and barrel toast/baking spices on the nose. Medium + tannins & medium acid. Black plum, plum, blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, light vanilla dark chocolate, anise, violets, rich volcanic minerals, crushed rocks, medium leather, barrel shavings. It's still a big wine but drinking nicely today. Better to wait 10 plus years. Nice pair with the smoked duck.

Aug 26th, 2018Unreal. Big Cab. Baby. Needs to be revisited in time. Tremendous now with real potential to smoothen out with some age.

nose shows earth, fur, very ripe blackberries, garrigue, grilled meat, cedar/cigarbox, faint green pepper....taste is beautiful. everything is so well integrated- one seamless whole. rich, dark, smoky, smooth tannins- but with a great railroad spike of acidity around which all the softness is wrapped.

Fruit is so elegant. Weight is perfect. Love this wine... wish it was within my means. Ha!
