Delightful ruby red cab from Ehlers. Not as dense as many Napa Cabs, but delivered a nice robust flavor. Packed in black fruit and subtle hints of cedar, eucalyptus and mint notes. All in all glad to have a few of these sitting on the shelf.

Ruby. Perfumed nose. Distinctive Cab. Cherry Cola, coffee + toffee, smooth tannins. Elegant mid-palette finish.

Umami, blackberry, black cherry, dark chocolate and new leather. M acid, m+ body and m+ round tannins. Lots of layers! Elegant, balanced and a long finish.

Wild purple flowers, candied fruits and licorice on the nose. Bigger, thicker tannin structure than their regular Cabernet. Ripe candied blackberries, dark cherries, blueberries, licorice, rich dark soil, fine sweet minerality, soft leather, touch of burnt ambers, some stem presence, nice balance and acidity, length and finish.

Delicious Bordeaux-style Napa cab. I'm going to get a few more to cellar.
