Old school Cabernet that’s quite approachable now but will age gracefully. There’s bold, food friendly acidity here, and it carries mixed berry fruit, lively fall spice and moderate oak toast into the distance. If you intend to crack into this soon, give it a good three hour decanting to open it up before serving with a good steak – that’s what I’m going to do!
