Almost back with magenta notes, full bodied. Creme de cassis, cherry and a whiff of va on the nose. Starts soft and velvety with cassis and blueberry notes that touch on cedar and astringency by mid, where they're also met by a slightly metallic and off acidity that carries through the hot finish. Missing some of the suave oak and bourbon, along with a denser fruit profile that make a Sonoma cab for me. But for the price it's a phenomenal Monday night prize.
