2019 Vice Versa Cabernet Sauvignon The Magnificent Seven
Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, July 27, 2021 - Vice Versa weekend and dinner: This is just so intense and concentrated that one can’t help but be utterly mesmerized by its commanding presence. Blackberries and scorched earth are spun together in a commercial-grade blender on HIGH and stuffed with cacao and charcoal before it all spurts out the top and crescendos in a purple-black juice Bellagio fountain; a stunningly choreographed wine-aquatic experience. It is worthy of its class and place as the top Vice Versa wine in the lineup. I have a personal affinity for the LPV (full disclosure on that), but the M7 is a loooooooooooong ride of blackberry, black soil, purple licorice, Baker’s chocolate, and spice flavors pumping lushness and drive over the palate with a “Now whatcha got, punk?!” sassy attitude.

It’s got an attitude that makes it instantly appealing now, but has the intensity and fortitude to lie down for a while too. This M7 and LPV were my favorites of the VV lineup this release... though the Les Cousins is also a fascinating and unique wine too. Good stuff this year.
