The nose is fairly plush, the fruit is expressive with blackberry, black cherry, some dusky dark fruit in the very back. The whole thing is rimmed by barrel spice and a little bit of oak toast, with a light little touch of that creamy vanilla at the very far edges. So far I'm impressed, this has a depth and pedigree that I can sense but not knowing who the producer is, or the fruit sourcing, I'm definitely just kind of relying on my experience. The palate is supple, and the fruit is present but is both working with and vying against the barrel spice and toast, there's a good amount of oak here but all the tannins are super well refined and integrated, there's drying but it's not fighting against the fruit or acid it's all harmonious. It is one. I like this a lot, it's got a little more polish and sophistication than our straight Napa Anonymous release and I could definitely see upgrading myself when the situation calls for it. This is also for someone who likes a little more dusky Cabernet Sauvignon, something a little more lithe and with a slightly better balance. Don't get me wrong, I love them both, but wines are kind of like a tool in that you want the right one for the right job.
