Tuesday, September 4, 2012 - Fantastic, stunning, delicious - an absolute shocker for the money.
Did I mention I really love this?
A blend of mostly Cab Sav, with about 10% Malbec, and a tiny bit of Cab Franc and Petit Verdot in there as well
Super dense and dark purple to the eye, great nose
On the palate simply delicious - didn't take notes, but I recall blueberry, blackcurrant, but red fruit present as well, and even a citrusy quality to the acid.
Medium fine tannins were smooth and round - PERFECT balance - no alcohol making itself an unwelcome star, and the oaking was just right!
Gorgeous medium long finish
"wmccone54" spoke well, below, in describing the complexity. Spot on
What's that? I only have 3 more bottles???? Argghhh!! :)
94 to 95 points, in my book - this wine checked all the boxes for me
