Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is nice with cassis, cedar, blueberries, and spice. Full bodied with medium tannins. On the palate cassis with underlying spice and some cedar. Nice finish. Drinking well now and should continue for another seven to ten years. A nice choice with a grilled burger.
Purple/ruby in color. The nose has cassis and dust with a bit of spice. Warm. On the palate, this has cassis, tart cherries, a bit of baking spice and slight herbal notes. It drinks like pretty classic Napa Cab. Not super ripe but not under ripe either. I can see this being a bit divisive for those who want a fruit bomb. This is not that. Showing a tight layering, it unwinds in the glass. Has a nice complexity but there is some upside to come. It was popular at the dinner table with our friends.
