This is a very nice Cabernet using mountain fruit which tends to be more concentrated than valley floor fruit. Purple in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is very nice with cassis, slight minerals, spice and a bit of floral notes. On the palate, this has a nice texture. Concentrated cassis fruit with mineral undertones. Good balance. Nice finish. This is drinking well right now but it should last easily for another five to seven years. It drinks well on its own and should go well with roasted meats or fowl.
