A little bricking around the rim, but mainly solid color. Great nose. A touch of oxidation at first but that quickly faded. The fruit is undoubtedly red; cherries and some raspberries. Then there is a bit of vanilla with a touch of espresso. Palate has red fruit but not really raspberries. The fruit here is a mixture of cherries and dried currant. The vanilla carries over on the palate as well. The wine has some amazing balance.
Oh, and this was just there regular cab. Not reserve, no single vineyard. Just there regular kick Arse Cab.
