Nice medium bodied, less extracted version, less oak. Comparing to lots of CA Cabernet. Priced well. Bottle drained quickly. Touch of green detracts.

Full and complex. Black pepper notes. Bought after listening to a Richard Betts interview and now feel like I know him a little bit better thru his wine.

Floral aroma with a smooth blend of flavors that include currants and a balanced and controlled finish
