Fruit-forward and already a charmer, this Cabernet opens with a complex perfume of sweet dark plum, fresh red and black berries, dark cherry galette, clove, dry red rose, dry sage, star anise and baking spice scents. Although firmed by tannin and minerality on the palate, it is never less than elegant. If the fruit is a hint more tightly wound in the mouth, it holds its own through a harmonious, lingering finish that is delicious and impressively food worthy. This beauty may well improve if allowed another few years in the cellar, yet its current appeal may cause it to disappear much sooner. 140 cases produced from the Kenefich Ranch.
