Neither monolithic nor complex, but civil and finessed. The fruit is ripe without being stewed, with silky, well integrated tannins. Oak is suave and not over bearing.

Deep Ruby coloration. On the nose, fruits and florals with Berries and cassis prevailing. On the palate, berries, with raspberry standing out, cherry, and finish of mild oak and vanilla. Hints of tobacco present. Medium body, smooth and silky texture with mild tannins.

Cali Cab cassis, graphite, and slate. Huge wine that has well integrated oak and tannins.

Spicy and bold. Let it mellow and it is delicious. Would buy again.

Tastes of dirt, dust, and cinnamon. Not a huge fan of cabs, but this is one I like.
