I liked the mix of red and blue fruits, vanilla, spice, with decent amount of tannin to provide the underlying structure and acidity to wrap it all together.

This was fantastic tonight. Cassis, blackberries, perfume, cocoa, cedar, graphite and a two minute finish. While a big one, it is well balanced, and will likely be better in several more years.

A whole new kind of concentrated and complex fruit. Decanted for 1.5hrs which helped it but might have needed more time. Probably needs a few more years for the tannins to really integrate and mellow out. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. A beauty!

So “California” compared other Luc creations but... WOW! Delicious fruit, currants, graphite, and dry field grass. Still young but the tannins are fairly light. I think another 3-5 will be perfect.

Quick decanter really brought out the fruit and this wine continues to show multiple layers of flavors: dark and red fruit, some cooking herbs as well as mocha and tobacco. Tannins are really mellowing out and it’s smooth drinking from here.
