Dark berries and cherries in the nose with blackberries, black cherries and cotton candy in the palate. This 2014 was drank in 2024. It was still had high tannins even after 2 hours of decanting. The second half of the bottle was much better the next day. It paired beautifully with a grilled prime NY strip steak with sautéed mushrooms. It also paired well with an aged Carmella cheese

Not seeing the $100.00 price tag, $135.00 on Release probably the most disappointing 98 point wine I’ve had.
So Many $50-$75 out perform this one
How Jeb gave this a 98+ I have no idea
Any Rivers Marie cab between $100-$135.00 will blow this away, not mention Mike Smiths wines
