chunky black-fruit aromas are ripe but familiar, meaning the nose is pumped full of richness and oak. racy acidity on the palate gives this modern cab spine, while in the mouthfeel stays on the fast track due to zesty acidity. flavors of cassis and blackberry register as fresh and ripe, and the finish is crisp and not the least bit flabby. drink through 2016.
