Rosebud, blueberry and cassis notes dominate at first, showing real purity to the Cabernet Sauvignon. As things power up, you get great streaks of chocolate, slate, mint and eucalyptus. As is typical with Cloudburst, you get a ton of nuanced complexity, and a whoosh of freshness boosted by a saline lick on the finish. A slow burn overall, getting more and more interesting and succulent as it stays in your mouth and the flavours unroll. Clever, confident winemaking in one of the longest harvests on record. Around 50% new oak, natural malolactic fermentation, no extended macerations. It's worth pointing out that the vines are still only 12 years old at this point.
