Enjoying this at Capital for it’s depth and grainy tannins. Coffee notes everywhere, with prominent oak treatment. Very well put together, just needs cellaring, but I love this presentation as-is.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint is fabulous. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, spice, lavender and menthol fill out the layers beautifully. In the glass, the 2018 is rich and generous, yet it also possesses terrific freshness and plenty of verve. It is a superb wine in its price range, or any price range, for that matter.

Excellent effort from these guys n gals, as always. Drink or hold, but it’s in the zone right now. Regal tannins give way to moderate acidity. Loving the roasted coffee bean notes, combined with blueberry jam, and a hint of cinnamon. Finishes complex and sweet.

Definitely improves with air time. Recommend decant of at least 45 min. Really softens up and fruit shines. Black and dark red fruit. Licorice, earthy. Medium finish.

Juicy mountain fruit. Another winner from Philippe Melka.

4 hour decant (I’m sure 2 would suffice). Dark ripe fruit, leather, baking spices, mint. Velvety tannins with some acidity. Can see a few more years should help open it up but drinking well now. Juicy ripe black fruit leads to a nice silky finish.

Very deep ruby/purple with aromas of blackberries, cassis, green peppercorn, tobacco, mocha, and asian five spice. Nice mouthfeel with fine grained tannins. Great fruit and a nice, lingering finish. My first time trying this wine. Very nice first impression.
