Villa Maria Tasting with winemaker Geris (Sherry-Lehmann): Warm, spciy, with cloves and pumpkin pie notes, extremely tannics, long finish. Perhaps too extracted, but a fine line throughout. Like an expensive cali cab, but for half the price.
2/3 Cab 1/3 merlot sees about 60% new oak barrels (barriques) during 18 months.
