Aged: 9 Years
This wine brags about its youthfulness with its burst of fruity aromas and flavors of cherry, currant and cola berry. Yet, a touch of menthol/cedar/black olive lets you know it is not a baby. The color gives no hint of age. The wine starts to open up in about 10 minutes, but will get better for hours.
- 90 points, Wine & Spirits (November 2008): “Heady and intense…huge, vibrant black cherry flavors…Packed with enough ripe fruit and tannin to melt through a sirloin grilled rare.”
- 90 points, Wine Enthusiast (February 2009): “…rich and ripe in black currant cherry, chocolate… firm, fine tannins…”
Pair with Lamb chops on a bed of mashed potatoes is a nice formal dinner idea. Please decant 30 minutes prior to serving.
This wine was featured in The California Wine Club's wine of the month club.
