This is a gorgeous Cabernet, absolutely true to its appellation and clearly of Reserve quality. The aromas are a concentrated, focused medley of sour dark cherry, cassis, black raspberry, pomegranate molasses, toasted oak and baking spice, with mineral undercurrents and suggestions of sweet tobacco and dried herbs. There is notable concentration, minerality and tannic backbone on the mid-plate, where the flavors promised in the nose are precisely replicated, if in a more youthfully coiled presentation. As the wine airs, the finish grows ever more delicious, to ultimately prove just as flattering as the aromas. Terrific now, it may prove quite special if allowed three or four more years to further evolve. 350 cases made.
