Soft, open-knit, delicious red, though to my taste not quite in the same league as some of the more intense Stonestreet single-vineyard Cabs. Dense, ripe flavors touch on dark cherries and plums - actually more reminiscent of a Merlot than a Cab-dominted wine - along with notes of earthy tobacco and spice. Seems totally ready to drink now though I'm sure it'll hang in there another 5 years or more. - HK 2022-05-21
