Completely atypical Sonoma cab. Poured on my corn flakes I'da sworn twere a 2nd tier Napa bottling. Deep garnet with highlites of brillant ruby. Loads of cassis, black cherries, plums, a dash of spice and hint ot bakers cocoa. Strong entry with the black fruits coming on with the rest following before some kick-back tannins hit.
This hummer needs a good 5-7 and should be a memorable bootle of juice. Are releasing a Napa soon. And for you who've had it, yes it's the same Forefathers who released a killer SW sav-blanc from New Zealand and a super Shiraz from OZ.Projected in the 90-94 range with a Q rating of 93 at 40 by the box.
