- winoweenie - 11-15-2006 Deep ruby. Nose of lush red and black fruits, spice, and some sweet vanilla. All come over on the palate along with cedar-box and cassis. A big wine that is just now hitting it's stride. Balanced with still some firm tannins that need another 2-4. Eric added some Cab Franc and Merlot. Fruit from his Rabbit Ridge vineyard with some fruit from Spring Mountain in Napa. Good stuff. 91/92. 38 by the box. 13.8% alc. WW |
