Tight, dark, blue and black fruits define this cool-climate Cabernet. It’s supple and spicy, with firm but ripe tannins. The fruit is concentrated in a tight core, but persistent and resonant into a lengthy finish. Flavors mix mountain berry, bramble, wild herb, pencil shavings and peppery spice. It needs mroe time, but it has the substance and muscle to last. ——P.G.(11/1/2011)—— 92
