This wine is quite dark both in view and on the nose. That nose, oh boy. It's much more rustic than Cabs usually are, with deep roots in tar, leather, earth and smoke. Truly incredible. The palate shows rustic notes, too, and is likely the Greek grapes making themselves heard. Deep, dark fruit reminds me of a Sangiovese crossed with a Cab. The acidity is youthful, while the tannins are smooth.
