Decent enough but quite smoky and leathery.

Got this as a sample to review, had to drink it right away. A bit funky on the nose initially, could definitely use some aging.

Still a very jammy style I only encounter with CA entry level cabs I guess... Black currant jam and a toasty, oaky note on the nose, along with a touch of graphite / pencil lead. Full on palate with that jam all around, a good width, some nice matter on the sides, a huge tannic wall with a bit of a grain and that slightly drying effect and a huge finish with that jam, that drying note and a tiny bitter note to add a slightly more complex note to the whole picture. It might well be the best cali cab I have tested so far but my benchmark starts pretty much from gutter level.

Feb 10th, 2020Not my style, but it's quite good. A cherry and chocolate nose (also a palate). But it's short on a tongue. A finish is too rough and simple. I enjoed it, but there was nothing to remember.
