Loads of pure fruit here. If you enjoy your Napa cabs with more fruit before they go to secondary notes, I’d say it’s time to enjoy this one. It’s beginning to show some muddled fruit profiles, with blackberries, black cherry, and currant but it also has a nice graphite note. Savory in terms of it having a charcoal like note but not meaty. Mid palate is dense and soft. Very nice.

My husband's friends visiting from Colombia - this calls for a special bottle or two!

Dry and tasty. Big, bold earthy flavors. A bit tart on the second day.
