Showing a fairly intense bouquet of creme de cassis highlighted by floral notes and white pepper, this Syrah based blend is slightly angular, but well-built and serious tasting.

The palate is silky in texture and layered with plum, currant, sage and dark chocolate.

Dark and inky, this Cabernet reminds me of a renowned $500+ Bordeaux blend that is lithe on the palate with a velvety smooth, well-integrated structure, round tannins, dense texture, and a long lingering finish that lasts a full 30 seconds.

A dense, powerful expression of Cabernet that commands attention and delivers decadent joy.

Outstanding right out of the bottle…
