كاين فايف ريد بليند 2017، سبرينغ ماونتن، نابا فالي

The ample mouthfeel really delivers on those dark berry and nutmeg notes, making it perfect for a cozy evening. I'm impressed by how well it's aged for a 2017 — smooth and complex without being too heavy.

Opened it with a long decant and the blackberry and nutmeg notes really came through beautifully. The mouthfeel is generous without being heavy, exactly what I want from a Napa Bordeaux blend.

The nose was a bit shy at first, but after an hour in the glass the redcurrant and nutmeg really opened up nicely. Perfect for a quiet evening, though I wish the finish lingered just a touch longer.
