Decanted for four hours prior to serving. This is Cabernet Sauvignon from Mt. Veeder and St. Helena. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose has cassis, dark chocolate, slight cedar, coffee beans, and spice. Full bodied. Firm tannins. Nice balance. On the palate, there is cassis, chocolate, coffee and char. Long finish. The longer decant made this wine much better than a prior bottle. This is a twenty year wine so don't be afraid to give it lost of air if opening in the next few years. It is nice on its own and will work well with roasted meats, fowl or veggies.
