I know I have already posted twice about this wine, but I cannot emphasize
enough what a terrific value this wine is.
Priced $38 to $45 when released (for 750ml), this wine delivers
substance that wines costing more lack.
What you might get from a more expensive wine would be either elegance
and restraint or depth. This wine is
fruit-driven, lush, balanced, and nearly rich on the palette. The fruit flavors remain fairly
vintage-typical, with raspberry, dark cherry, blackberry, dark chocolate,
minerals, and notes of leather on the palette, with a persistent finish. With this wine, it has been a struggle
between opening every delicious bottle and having the patience to allow the
wine to evolve over a few years. By
acquiring more than a case of half-bottles, I’ve been able to do a little of
both with joy.
