Deep ruby with immediately compelling Californian Napa Cabernet Sauvignon aromas of sweet black currant and chapparal, with a rich seam of red fruit, almost sanguineous and ferrous. There is also a gorgeous oak component along with clove, nutmeg, and cedar. The palate is rich, full-bodied, with a beautiful combination of both savory fresh herbs and ripe, concentrated black fruit. The tannins are present, with Rutherford siltiness from the Rutherford bench. This is extremely youthful right now; it would benefit from aging to temper its slightly brooding nature. But decanting for an hour before serving, and pairing with food, will deliver a lovely drinking experience now – just remember to buy at least two bottles so that you have one to put away.
