Comfortable in its own skin, the 2016 Elevation Cab displays an understated confidence that befits its notable pedigree. Decades of vision, faith and sweat have merged to bring forth this balanced, muscular blend. Layers of mature fruit, seasoned cedar, chocolate nib and a hint of espresso bean are all underpinned by crumbled dry earth on warm limestone. The vivid acidity and resolved but sturdy structure brings a focus to this ample array that provides a dramatic but illusive image. It is like a bold outline in shadow. Welcome this veiled, masterful red as it has a profound story to tell, but in its own time.
