Community Tasting Note

Monday, November 1, 2021 - An elegant style of Cab grown in the foothills of the Andes, this wine is a Bordeaux blend of 85% Cab and also Cab Franc and Petit Verdot aged in 100% new French oak. The wine is ruby red nearly to the rim and with fewer tertiary notes than I expected, it has several more years ahead of it and is drinking beautifully now. On the highly aromatic nose, Cab scents of cassis, blueberry, black pepper and green olive (fortunately, no sign of green pepper), balsamic and a nicely integrated toastiness. The gentle but full mouthfeel offers a palate of blue fruits balanced with grip but also smooth tannins. Again, no tertiary flavors and a surprisingly short finish. The elegance at 14.5 ABV stands out for me.
