From a block of the Llewelling Wight vineyard, this is a ripe and oaky cab right now but with ample acidity and a firm tannic spine. With time open (I.e. Day 2) this seems to make the move from Vanilla Purple Milkshake to Cassis/Spice. This has a long way to go before it hits peak. I am betting it will integrate. Seems like winery now defunct?

Feb 23rd, 2017Hard to decide whether I like this or not. On opening, had a nice, bracing acidity but with air it seems to flatten and flab out into your standard, higher-EtOH, slightly overripe "cult Napa cab" range.
