This is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. It was given some air prior to serving and double decanted back into the bottle which seemed about right. Ruby/purple in color, opaque if a bit flat. The nose is nice with black cherries, cassis, slight cigar box and a bit of spice. The tannins are all resolved. Medium bodied. On the palate, cherries and black cherries. Some depth. Good acidity. This is at peak and needs to be drunk up. Classic Napa Cab in profile. Nice on its own, this will work better with food. It would be a nice wine with Pepper Steak.
