Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
J. LOHR |
Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, complex, slightly spicy, ripe plum-cherry puree nose with some mocha-chocolate notes. Fairly dry, medium-full bodied, dense, well structured, harmonious, very ripe cherry-plum puree flavours with a lingering, fairly high acid, somewhat cedary, sandalwood-tinged, mocha-chocolate finish. This blend of 97% Petite Sirah and 3% Syrah has 14.9% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar. Aged for 16 months in French oak (80% new). TONY ASPLER / 91-points / BEST BUY - Creamy, spicy, sandalwood and blueberry nose; full-bodied, dry, richly extracted blueberry and blackberry flavours with a sweetness at the core; firmly structured with evident tannins, hold 3 - 5 years. |

TASTING NOTE: The power of smoky oak shows strongly on this wine. Black-cherry fruit aromas are woven in with caramel, fudge, vanilla and cappuccino scents. A strong tannic structure frames the palate, with juicy black-cherry and blueberry flavors enhanced with milk chocolate and more caramel. Drink 2017-2033. Cellar Selection. Score - 92 (Matt Kettman, Wine Enthusiast, May 2016) |
