the 2010 vintage was a generally good one for the winery. most of the cabs were released last year, but they've held this cabernet sauvignon-merlot blend back for extra time in the bottle. yet it's still very tannic, stinging the gums with astringency. underneath that is a beautiful wine, brimming with fresh blackberries and cassis, and an attractive green-olive note that's sweet and salty and umami-rich. already throwing some sediment, this is a serious cellar candidate. don't even think of popping the cork before 2018.
