This wine is inky in the glass, with no light getting through its rich, purple shade. The nose is a showcase for black and blue fruit, with a good deal of minerality and some nice floral notes. A little sweet oak spice comes through as well. On the palate, the fruit is dominant, but there is an ample sense of spice. The tannins are quite firm upon the first pour, but they settle down after the bottle has been open for a while. The finish is long and satisfying. In a region which produces outstanding Cabernet blends, this is one of the better ones.
