Delicious, minty luxurious mouthfeel.
N:Very minty, some deep tomato, as paste. It has an interesting lightness to it.
P: mulberries and bright red/orange long finish, still has that murky entry, The acids are still bright. Very tactile and grippy.

A bit lighter than your standard Cali cab, but still a confident wine that will stand up to a thick NY strip. Cherry wood, mild spice, light leather.

Dec 24th, 2021N: Very minty, earthy right out of the gate. It sure smells like Tuscany, one vineyard in Gaiole(sp) I believe. Some liquorice and crushed stone/tar. Dark flowers.
P: Light on it’s feet w prominent acidity. Earth, graphite, black fruit, med finish. It begs for food.
Delicious.
Held up spectacularly overnight in fridge w just a rubberized cork seal.

Sunday snacks. Italian cabernets tend to be lean and impressive. This one is no exception. @winelibrary killed it on this deal, should have bought a case
