California Cabernet port nose. It's porty and dark chocolatity. Big wine, resolved tannins. Ripe blackberries, dark liqueur cherries, black raspberries, dark chocolate, rich black earth, dry crushed stones, good acidity, big long rich full dark fruit finish. Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting with dark raspberry fruit.

Bright and beastly. A little sweet (vintage?) for me. Better in 10 years after it mellows? 15.8%! 60/40 cab with a schmutz of petite Syrah.

It took a long while to open up... over an hour. It had nice layers of fruit and complexity woven in but was missing out of the gate (overshadowed when tight and just opened). It turned into a nice red and developed a bit more balance.

60% Cab, 40% Merlot - aged in 100% French Oak for 24-months. Still a youngster but I love where it's headed!
