See my other notes on 90+ cellar wines. 6 months aged in French and American Oak, this is a crowd pleaser Cabernet. On the nose, I pick up cherry, smoke, hints of plum. On the palate it is a lighter Cabernet than anticipated. This year is not as bold as some previous 90+ Cabs that I have tried, but gives a nice finish with some pepper, spice, and acidity. For those Cab drinkers who like a medium complex wine, this one’s for you.
