Apr 8th, 2018Great balance and a wonderful, classic California Cabernet. Lovely elements of savory, Rosemary, sage and delicate cloves and other savory aromatic spices. Delicate kid glove leather aromas. Some mulled wine aromas as well Wonderful balance and depth, intense nose with great projection. Long finish lovely palate. Lovely food pairing wine

Plenty of red currants, lingonberries, dried cranberries, black currants and blackberries but at this age these are underscored with a vetiver aroma, a pheromonal appeal, and a welcomed edge of currant leaf, cedar, allspice and a penetrating life start to finish.
