Right off the top, this is much sweeter than the CNP’’s I am used to drinking. The fruits here are crazy ripe. Blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries. Not much in the way depth or grilled meats. It is highly drinkable. I don’t want to throw them in with Caymus’s modern style but it is hard not to think it. There is some mid spice here, moist, clays, dry stones, some very light herbaceous notes, some barrel dust, light black pepper, loads of red flowers, nice round acidity and decently balanced, elegant, round, lush finish that lasts a minute.
If you like a young, pop and pour easy to drink CDP for under $35, this for you. — 21 days ago
