This performed far beyond my expectation. Cedar and cherry tobacco with silky tannins.

Blackberry, cassis, licorice, eucalyptus, loamy earth and oak. Great structure and moderate tannins.

Well balanced and inviting. Black fruits, blackberry, leather, smoke, well integrated tannins, everything you love in a Napa cabernet. This wine is great, not exceptional. Long finish that invites you back for more. My impression is mid term aging as opposed to long term.

Big and juicy, as expected. A bit hot. Not my style but the table liked it.

Dark and inky. The wine is sweet and at the same time earthy. That may be the heat. The oak is nicely integrated and not overwhelming. Cali cabs are not my go to, but this one is very nice. Much more subtle than I expected.
