A nice cab Franc/merlot blend. Dark fruits, caramel, herbs. While the fruit shines, there is a strong earthiness and minerality to this wine. Medium-light bodied. Just a touch tannic.

Deep ruby red with purplish core. Lots of baking spices on the nose especially vanilla with some dark fruits. Great acidity with moderate tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus body. Palate is coated in dark raspberries, dark cherries and a little black fruit. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2027.

I enjoy Young Inglewood Bordeaux blends very much. Vs the Di Costanzo Pelton and I drank first, this was more mellow (merlot-y?) but still more fruit & residual sugar than a typical old world Bordeaux. Would definitely drink again. $75?

Jan 24th, 2022This wine is drinking exceptionally well, especially after 1-2 hours of air. All the best Napa cab has to offer, mellowed a bit by the blend components. I bought this at the winery and can’t find my price, but online looks like $80-$90. Highly recommend.

Rated this wine three years ago. Pretty much sticking with my rating, although I am tasting more vanilla and raspberries and blueberries, and a bit of cocoa.

Meh. Flabby. Low acidity. Very Cali. Good if someone else paying.
