88% CS, 9% Merlot, 2% PV, 1% CF, all from Calistoga where more clay with better water retention. Lightest Cab in their offering not as structured as other bottling. I smell mostly alcohol, clover, red fruit and blood, bramble, red/black/blue-berry pie, oak spice... high acidity, very short finish on the out-of-balance acidity. Did they acidify the wine???
