69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Cabernet Franc. Again, much more mineral focus on the nose. More mountain blackberry fruit than the black label. Still a very elegant expression of fruit to the nose. Lots of lift to the nose. Fun to drink this next to some Ridge Estate Cab and Monte Bello. Medium plus acid, medium tannin. Definitely carries the acid next to the 2016 Black label. Harvest over 8 weeks at the property. A selection of the best lots. Organic practicing.

Really nice bottle of wine.
Opened for 90 minutes. First sip had grippy tannins. Every sip after that was smoother. It really opened up.
Hints of violets on nose and palate.
Drinking great now with enough time.

Excellent wine. Decanted for about 30 min. Second glass improved after an hour. Still a you wine with firm tannins.
