This feels like a well made wine. A really pleasing mineral/gravel note balances the deep fruits nicely. Continues to open over the 4 hours sampled. Tannins are relatively fine grained. Cocoa and crushed roasted almonds reverberate with the fruit at the conclusion.

Wow was this good! I had this pretty soon after it was popped and it was just a powerhouse elixir of flavor. Very “iron fist in a velvet glove”. Up front, blackberry compote, shaved cocoa, and graphite. Velvet like on the palate...glides across picking up blueberry, nutmeg, currant and sweet pipe tobacco. Plenty of fruit and savory balance. I imagine this was even doing better after I left. I need to try this again!

Lots of structure. Needs time.

1 hour decant(some chunky/fine sediment). A phenomenal dark crimson color. On the nose: dark cherry, blueberry, graphite, woodsy, floral, cloves. Taste: smooth, well rounded no harsh edges wine with blackberry, currants, dark chocolate, licorice, and a spiced oak earthy dry medium plus finish. YUM!

Chocolate on the nose invites the drinker to experience a well integrated and rich Cabernet that is still very young. Nice vanilla oak overtones made this an extremely enjoyable glass to drink.

Big boy wine with concentrated fruits chocolate and graphite and needs a good 2hr decant for it to round out. Paired well with a big T-bone steak. Grapes sourced from Dr.Crane, Weitz and Pierre’s vineyards.
