Rich, oaky perfume with deep black fruit, coffee, vanilla and blackcurrant. Sumptuous and creamy with an immense weight of fruit, integrated tannins and a savoury finish.

Amazingly rich flavors mark this Cab, ranging from blackberries and black currants to earthier notes of herbs, cola and olive tapenade. It’s dry, and the tannins are lush and easy. Super easy to drink, but could benefit from greater structure, as it’s a bit too soft.——S.H.(12/15/2010)—— 87
