Blueberry and spice on a nose that also reveals cedar and toasted oak. Lots of oak components emerge as the wine opens, including vanilla and rich dark chocolate. Dark berries lie underneath the oak. Thick and rich with a pretty serious bite to the tannins at present. Needs 1-3 years or extended decanting. Throwing lots of sediment. 81% Cabernet; 14% Merlot; 5% Cab Franc.
