Description

2017 Spottswoode, Cabernet Sauvignon, St Helena, Napa Valley, California, USAMade of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet purple in color and prances out of the glass with vivacious blackberries, crushed black cherries, warm black currants and red currant jelly scents plus exotic hints of cassia, cardamom, fenugreek and star anise with a waft of underbrush. Medium bodied, the palate has fantastic energy and beautiful poise, with bags of bright, crunchy black

Despite drought conditions

rounded tannins

This cuvée offers a nice marriage of fruit and oak

with notes of black cherry and dark chocolate

the 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino Madonna Delle Grazie pours a bit richer ruby hue

We wouldn’t normally be looking out for this appellation but the wine is so impressive

this is an elegant

this Echézeaux is Jean-Pierre’s masterpiece most years

If you love Latour

yellow apple and spring blossom are all pushed forward

as with a suit that would fit me

The nose is glossy and seductive
