Deep ruby red. A bit bland on the nose, a bit toasty and stewed raspberries. Even for only 13.5% alcohol it seems to have a little bit of heat. Light tannins (4/10) and light bodied. A touch paperish on the palate with some bramble berries. A little singular. Short finish. Drink now.

Nov 10th, 2017Fine tannins makes this big wine much more approachable. Nice long finish. A cab I'd reach for if a friend was looking to grow their palate.

Oct 10th, 2022Very dry but very fruit-forward and light for a cab. Almost like a Pinot Noir version of a Cabernet Sauvignon! Weird and cool and fun!
