Spot on Napa Valley Cabernet profile here, with a sturdy structure, a weighty texture and a fully integrated finish where the blackberry, currant, pepper, moderate oak toast and fall spice linger long. I’d age this a while to soften the structure a bit, or give it a good decanting if you’re going to try this in the near term.
