#1000 at home, finally!
This is big, broad and bold. Hundred percent cab aged in seventy-five percent new French Oak. Limited production to just over two hundred cases.
Visibly the wine is a deep ruby color with a tight rim.
The nose is intense with dark fruit, cassis, coffee, dark chocolate, but also earthy humid forest aromas.
The mouthfeel is luxurious and enveloping with the perfectly ripe dark fruit, just a touch of dried spices, vanilla, oak, and a long savory earthy finish. The wine is dry, full bodied, ultra smooth with round but persistent tannings with medium plus alcohol and medium acidity.
Absolutely love wine… Cheers all!

It’s extremely surprising to me how approachable the wine is at release. Although, I may know the reason: the cave wine making and cellaring facilities at Porter; I can certainly feel the humidity of the caves in the wine. Praying I can keep my hands off my other couple of bottles for the next 5-10 years, just to see how much better the wine will be then.

Earthy nose. Ninety minute decant. Full body, dry, smooth. Blackberry, currants, vanilla on palate. Nice!
