Spectacular cab from Oakville. Beautiful on the nose and complex on the palette. Plenty of rich fruit and structural tannins. This will age nicely but is quite enjoyable now.

Beautiful blue fruit dominates here. Cedar oak, vanilla, licorice. Really drinking nice with smooth tannins.

soft tannins, bright fruit to start, jammy finish along with hints of anise.
