Community Tasting Note

• elise wrote: 92 points

  November 6, 2011 - Brickish red color
  
  Nose of leather, dust, red berries, eucalyptus,
  
  Palate is consistent with the nose having cherries, leather, figs, menthol, good balance with well integrated structure, noticeable fruit acid still prevalent lending a slightly sour cherry note on the 10 second finish.
  
  This is a good, mature California cab that is at it's peak or just beyond in graceful decline, depending how well aged you like your wine. The balance and fruit tells me that it has some age-ability left in it. For me, this is why I bought and aged California Cab. Consistent with other '96's and previous vintages of SVR.
