A powerful meritage... honestly too high in alcohol and out of balance for me.

I've had mixed experiences with this wine. This one shows the balance often elusive in California.

Dark ruby, raisin and plum, fig and dark fruits, Cigar box, oregano. Very polished tannins, very round and fruity in the mouth. Nice and long dark fruits finish.

Had a barrage of Cabernets in my glass earlier this week. Many of the main players were present. Vintages ranged from 2009 to 2013. This was the one I enjoyed the most.

Drinking at it’s peak with excellent black & plum fruit. Still with lots of life left.
