quilceda's palengat is now a proprietary blend, not a strict cabernet as before. you can smell the violets amidst nicely layered aromatics, built upon layers of black fruits, cassis and dark, smoky elements. smoke, earth, coffee, a hint of iron and rock continue into the midpalate, which loses a little density as it moves through the finish. that may be a reflection of the young-ish (7 to 10 year old) vines.
