TASTING NOTE: The cherry and red berry flavors in this cabernet feel as vivid as if the wine had been pressed yesterday. Spicy notes come up with air, accompanied by a juicy symphony of fruit that doesn't let up - the signature of the terrific 2011 vintage. Score - 92 (wineandspiritsmagazine.com, Feb. 2014) |
