Nose
The 2010 Cabernet has a tremendously pleasing nose of mixed berries, crème brulee, cassis, baking spices, and cinnamon. There is truly an exceptional purity to the nose that makes me close my eyes when I place my nose inside to focus on this chimera in a glass.
Palate
The palate is tightly wound yet plush, having simply perfect balance and length. There is a lot of ripe tannins here, but not a rough edge to be found. After 5 days open, the wine continues to develop and display remarkable purity of fruit.
Winemaking
I simply love the 2010 vintage!
