The dark color will blow you away even before the nose and palate. Nose tells you this is going to be a deep and heavy full body cab from Mike Smith. Palate is amazing, fruity (did not get the blackberry some have mentioned) and the finish is nearly creamy/buttery. This one would go great with a nice stick from Cuba or Dominican Republic too, love it.

Chocolate forward. Plentiful, but agreeable tanins. Traditional Cabernet flavors or notes of beef blood, leather, graphite, dark fruits, and spices

This “Grand Daddy” was served with filet and though very young is certainly a great wine. Extremely smooth with no aftertastes. Plenty of berries and earthy tones. No alcoholic tastes. Beautiful bouquet.
