TASTING NOTE: This blend of cabernet sauvignon (90%) with small contributions from malbec, merlot, petit verdot, and petite sirah, was sourced from California's North and Central Coasts. It was aged 16 months in French and American barrels. The fruit is richly flavoured with ripe sweetness at the core and very good layering that makes for a complex profile. The fruit-acid balance is very good and the tannins are easy-going, making this suitable for drinking now. Enjoy it over the next four or five years. Score - 4.5 Stars (out of 5) (Rod Phillips, rodphillipsonwine.com, Feb. 14,2017) |
