Medium ruby red; some light rims. Restrained wild berries presented in a harmonious way. A little bit of bacon; in the background notes of an odorous smoking lounge. On the palate melting fruits I never recognized before. Long, animating with an aristocratic freshness. Terrific.
This reserve Cab improved dramatically since I tasted it the first time in October 2016 at the winery. Already at this time the wine was very good but far away from the "World Series" level on which it presents itself at the moment. The comparison with the MLB is not by accident. In case your team will reach the "World Series" in 2017 or in the next ten years the Cab is a nice alternative for celebration. Of course as part of an adequate BBQ.
