The ‘18 Modus Operandi Edcora Cabernet Sauvignon is young with a color of inky dark purple. Nose has both blackberries and blueberries with eucalyptus, pencil lead, smoke, and leather. I love it when a wine takes you back in time. The leather note took me back to sitting in my grandfather’s leather chair when I was a kid. Nice fruit with good balance. Tannins are there and will soften with time. Probably popped it a bit early, but it is still good. Glad I have a few more bottles to see how it develops. My favorite Modus Operandi single vineyard Cab. So far from @Jason Moore. This was a celebration wine for hitting the revenue goal for my new business. Paired with some prime steaks from The Fresh Market. Doesn’t get much better than that.
