Pretty color. Almost a medium -light hue of glowing crimson. Nose of crushed bright red berries, sassafras and orange zest. Palate shows a nicely bright red fruit profile with tons of verve. A crunchy and polished mouthfeel with red strawberries, red raspberries and spring flowers. It's super fragrant and very gorgeous. I am so loving the orange peel/sweet tart/violet thingy running straight through it. Wow. Tannins are elegant and finely meshed and acidity spot-on and bouncy. A mid-palate creaminess that only a Cab guy can appreciate. Balanced, elegant, vibrant and just awesome. What the hell is not to love?

So much going on here! The aromatics-Wow! Raspberries with hints of lemon zest; the bouquet just keeps evolving. Lovely balance with flavors of red fruits like strawberry, raspberries with hints of violets. The wine is drinking well now with a decant but will reward your patience.

Mouthful of red fruit, perfectly ripe cherry, red plum, juicy cranberry, raspberry, with a note of balsamic and fresh herbs, light body, great acidity
