An unusual feature of this wine is the low percentage of alcohol. It weighs in at 12.4%, which is in the bantamweight category compared to some of the “big” California Cabs that tip the scales at 14.5%.
The low alcohol content translates into a medium body and a more delicate wine.
Upon first sip, the wine was closed. It began to open up and the warm red fruit flavors became apparent. As we continued to decant the wine, a delicate cherry taste came to the forefront.
The finish on this wine was a bit muted and not very long. As best I can tell, my overall impressions on my tasting notes was “boort.” Guess my handwriting is getting worse, or else that’s French for “it’s a pretty good wine.”
