This is a tasty Cabernet Sauvignon blend from California. Big and bold with medium acidity. Full bodied and smooth with nice complexity. Dry on the palate and very fruity. Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, chocolates, tobacco, coffee and black pepper. Still young and needs a few years to calm down. Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime. I had the 2019 before, and it is very consistent. A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Shiraz. 14.5% alcohol by volume. 91 points. $50.

Blend:78% Cab Sauv from Napa Valley and 22% Shiraz from Central Coast vineyards in the Camatta Hills, planted with Penfold cuttings from So Australia. Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits, spice and herbs. On the palate flavors of ripe cherry and blackberry with notes of cinnamon and cacao. Medium+ finish, fine tannins, lively acidity ending with fruit, cedar and herb character. Very nice!

For our Thanksgiving Dinner yesterday one of the wines we had the pleasure of opening was the 2018 Penfolds Bin 600 Cabernet Shiraz. A California wine 20 years in the making. Cabernet Sauvignon from all around Sonoma and Shiraz from the Camatta Hills Vinyard in the Paso Robles area. A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Shiraz. On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, black currant, spice, chocolate, herbal notes, eucalyptus, leather and earth. On the palate is black cherry, blackberry, spice, clove, licorice, black pepper, savory smokey meat and earth. This wine is medium to full bodied with medium+ acidity and medium+ fine tannins that gives a ling black fruit earthy finish. As yesterday was a day to give thanks for which I am sure we were all thankful for many reasons, family, friends, life and so much more. Please stay safe and healthy and look to the future with many thanks. Nostrovia!

A pleasant somewhat underwhelming nose. Vanilla and charred cedar on the palate, greenery, and spices. An inkling of residual sugar on the palate, but syncs nicely with the medium acid and medium tannins. Quite solid. 92+ points
