September 3, 2013 – Wine: 2003 Clark Claudon Cabernet Sauvignon

Wow!  I was not expecting this wine to come out this good.  I have had a good bottle of the 2002 vintage of this wine, and tasted the 2006 at the winery.  But from all the bad-mouthing I have heard about the 2003 vintage, I was simply amazed by how this wine performed.  The nose was good, but the texture was what so surprised me.  The wine offers up plush tannins that suggest a richness to this wine which is what makes it so appealing.  On the balanced palette are flavors of cherry, pomegranate, hibiscus tea, minerals, and leather.  This was my first of two half-bottles, and I am eagerly looking forward to the next.
