Nice. Soft, round no real edges. Great second bottle for my wife.

Feb 29th, 2020Deep clear ruby with light violet accents in the glass. Very interesting nose here, a bit alluring to be honest. A nice combination of dark chocolate, cassis, and blackberries. There’s spice and oak notes that play a part, as well. As it develops, you’ll get a heavier dose of vanilla and coffee. This is another big, yet nuanced wine from this label. It gracefully sidesteps the danger of becoming a flabby fruitbomb and eases into a smooth pour that still shows some very good power. Rich, but not dense, it provides a slightly more velvety mouthfeel than the 2012. The palate follows the nose closely, with fresh blueberries, blackberries, and chocolate ganache are dominant with toasted oak and dried herbs. Medium to long finish of spice and cherries. Still has years to go before peaking. Really nice stuff.

Dec 30th, 2019Big fruity nose consisting of pomegranates, ripe cherries, and plums. Complimented with oak and a touch of dark chocolate. This is a big Napa Cab but certainly not out of control like so many others. Showing enough restraint and class, this is a well constructed and balanced Cabernet. High, sharp acidity provides a kick, while the alcohol blows off and it becomes a clean, focused pour. A really fun palate with all that red fruit up front and mild oak, vanilla, dried spices, and smoke assisting.
