Wowza. Now that’s a grosses gewachs.
Nose is intensely mineral almost smoky. So dense. As it opens less dense and more floral. White flowers.
Palate is densely mineral. Gods lemon. So good. A 9.5 on open. As it opens more of a sweet elegance. Approaching Faust test levels.

This is a tasty Napa Cabernet. Rich, extracted and elegant.
Showing blackberries, black currants, raisins, sweet cherries, chocolates, cedar, vanilla, coffee, earth, light vegetables, bitter herbs and peppercorn.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity.
Long finish with round tannins.
Needed a few hours of decanting, which I did not have at this time.
Still very young, but already enjoyable. Needs 3 years in the bottle to mature properly, and will age nicely in the next 10 years.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.

Great Cab blend. Love Faust Cabernet but this adds another level — a year ago
Blackberry, vegetal, herbal, with greenery. Some smokiness on the nose with black licorice. It's great to have an alternative of comparable quality to Napa Cabernet. In terms of $/points this punches way above its weight. To me, this is a very slightly better version of Faust Cab.

Happy to be back on the map. Great lil Napa Cab, oak and smooth tannins, would definitely drink again. Thanks to Stephan for the hook up. Yankees win doesn’t hurt either 😎 — 20 days ago
