A really beautiful and compelling wine…
-
2005 White Rock Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Laureate - USA, California, Napa Valley (8/22/2015)
Decanted. Dense, garnet-black color. Clean aromas- secondary & primary, with notes of cassis, blackberry, tea, olive, cedar and spice, and a little bit of heat. The palate is drop-dead gorgeous- dry and full bodied, with intense flavors and the perfect balance of fruit, depth, concentration and intensity. Shows notes of cassis & berries, black tea, black olive, clove, sandalwood, leather and cracked pepper. Depth in spades, big polished tannin, medium acid, and a big finish. This is popping, but still tastes on the near side of the drinking window. Outstanding- love it. (96 pts.)
