| Qty=2Size=750 ml, ST[93]"(an 87/13 blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot) Deep ruby-red. High-pitched aromas of black fruits, licorice and menthol. Pure and sweet but backward, with classic, lush black fruit and bitter chocolate flavors enlivened by a mineral firmness. Much tighter-grained than the 2006, and yet there's terrific density and body here. This really saturates the palate with flavor. But the '06 is more typical of the vineyard, says Melka, adding that the 2007 is not yet smoky." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (May 2009) |
