cool rooty aromas of cola and tree bark grace the nose on this ripe but still not fully mature cabernet sauvignon (with 5% merlot). in the mouth, this is choppy due to sandpaper tannins. flavors of sarsaparilla, pepper, and blackberry are dense and chewy, while the finish is bumpy and scraping due to aforementioned hard tannins. drink or hold through 2022.
