This wine is inky dark. The nose is full of plums, blackberries and cherries, with a touch of bacon grease and earth. More than a touch, actually. The palate hits a sweet note amid the dark fruit and oak spice, although the latter stays in the background. The tannic structure is young and firm, but not overpowering. Tasted blind, I probably would have guessed Syrah instead of Cab.
