spicy aromas of balsam wood, tobacco and sawmill work well with ripe but reserved red-berry scents. tight, tannic but also fresh as opposed to drying, this cabernet from a cool year delivers a classic set of herbal berry, plum and wood spice flavors. a ripped finish is dry and oaky now, with core fruit resting for the future. drink 2018–2028.
