Photo on 2013-01-27 at 17.51Dark quite young purple.  Like it is only a year or two old.    Lovely aromas of pure dark fruits.  Vanilla-kissed deep dense new world flavors with plums, cherries, and chocolate covered blueberries.    30+ second finish.  Totally delicious.    I know I am on a string of all A ratings, and wanted to grade this lower but it is really tasty.  I deduct only a slight bit as at this price, I expect a little more terrior.      The great thing about this is Jill loves it and usually doesn’t like California Cabernet.  She loves the balance, chocolate and depth.

Original retail, $45 but now more like $80.  Grade: A-
