“Lovely aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, ground spice and anise. Full-bodied with fine, silky tannins. Juicy and vibrant on the palate with lovely balance and intensity. Drinking well now, but can definitely age. Drink or hold.”

Juicy and direct, with a good blast of fun raspberry and boysenberry compote notes, laced with red licorice and fruitcake hints. Shows the brambly/toothy finish of the vintage, so drink in the middle term while the fruit has the upper hand. Drink now through 2030. 57,889 cases made.

Rounded by small amounts of Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot, this Cab is earthy and lean on entry, before developing in the glass into juicy dark cherry and leathery notes. Smooth, integrated oak and tannin leave an impression in terms of texture, with a persistence of tannin on the finish.
