2016 Drinkward Peschon Cabernet Sauvignon Entre Deux Mères
Community Tasting Note
AGELVIS Likes this wine:
95 Points
Sunday, October 30, 2022 - Four hour decant. Deep dark, yet bright, magenta color. Plum, raspberry, Russian tea cake, blueberry, almond extract, and peony on the nose. There are also subtle notes of truffle, mushroom, and dark chocolate. Smooth, tongue drying palate, with satiny acidity. Full, round, medium intensity tannins on the longish finish.
This kept improving over an hour of drinking. It’s complex, demure, and refined. Very much a Bordeaux-leaning Napa Cab, but only in good ways. This is as good as you can do at this price.
