Unfortunately not fully delivering at the moment. Eucalyptus and licorice on the palate, slightly more astringent and lacking the usual smoothness of Cali Cabs. Probably needs a few more years to integrate the acidity.

Delicious and rich. Oak surprisingly evident. Dark fruits and some tobacco, earth, and minerality.
