Blue and black fruit with green bell pepper on the nose and palate, some green olive. A bit hot, alc needs more time to burn off, medium bodied, low acidity, medium tannins. Solid. But not completely balanced.

This is a fastball straight down the middle of the plate. Popped and poured. On the nose, pipe tobacco, old leather shoe, dill, and green olives. On the palate, cassis, blackberry, and baking spice. The oak is integrating well...yet tannins are still pretty firm. Good acid. Long finish. Really great showing. I think these just need a little bottle age to become more interesting.

Blackberry, cassis, black cherry, raspberry, vanilla, eucalyptus, licorice and oak. Great structure and well-integrated tannins.

Blackberry, cassis, extremely fruit forward and jammy. High alcohol but needs more tannin to balance. Felt flabby and jammy liqueur. Tannins moderate at best. Middle was missing.

Solid 90 point wine. Good fruit with nice interplay of soft tannins and mouth feel. I think this is a great cab to drink over the short term. Drink now to 2017. CB 90

8.5 out of 10 for Henry
9.5 out of 10 for Lorna
We liked this full flavored fruity wine! However, it cost $29 for a half bottle and that is way too much.
