I let this air out for about 4 hours. Glad I did. Soaring nose of clean dark berry, plum, and tobacco lifted me up and floated me back down into my chair. Wowsies! The drinking part of this wine is more or less as expected but still very enjoyable providing dark plummy fruit, anise, smoothed out tannic structure. Misses a bit mid-palate. That being said I spent most if my time with it sniffing while my wife depleted most of the bottle herself. Go figure.

Bluish black in the glass with notes of blackberries, plum compote and black tea resonating on the nose. Dark chocolate, leather, cedar, tobacco and eucalyptus meld harmoniously on the mid palate. Sensuous mouthfeel with balanced acidity and ripe, soft tannins round out a racy finish. #pridemountainvineyards

Blackberries, chocolate, and espresso. Powerful and juicy. Decanted for about four hours.

Nice Cab, time to drink in my opinion. Starting to taste hints of raisin, still a lovely Cab though.
