More complex like a blend, cab franc type. Nice but maybe a bit more fruit right now.

More fruit-forward than most cabs, almost into the zin range, but has a hint of smoke that kept it from being too jammy. It was a nice after dinner glass, and very good for the price.

Enjoyed on 12/25/24. Vintage 2022. $23. It’s ok not great. The vanilla is too forward. It’s also a little bit too fruity.

Very well balanced and a softer finish than most. The touch of vanilla is nice on the end and I definitely taste a hint of cherry.
