St. Helena, Napa Valley, California, USA
Excellent, well made Cabernet from a great winemaker, from a challenging vintage. Ripe cassis, black currant, ground coffee, and subtle dry earth notes abound. Tannins are still a bit tight even after lengthy decanting, but acid and alcohol are nicely balanced.

Nice. Very tannic and lots of acidity. I think more tannic than I would like. Perhaps anise. Graphite on the palate. Tart red and black fruit. Savory, according to Alicia. She's right. // needs a long decant and then it's really quite nice.
