2010 HEROLD by Mark Herold
MADE FROM LIMITED BARREL SELECTIONS OF OUR CHOICEST OAKVILLE AND COOMBSVILLE CABERNETS.
$195 per bottle
The first thing you notice about this wine is its color: an inky glass staining opaque purple/black. Next you notice are explosive aromatics of perfectly ripe exotic mountain berries and black strawberries followed by otherworldly fragrances of lychees, roasted blueberries and pit-roasted meats. Further complementing the olfactory spectrum are ethereal notes of sandalwood, graphite and chocolate. A wine that almost overwhelms the senses, it delivers a powerful yet seamless entry that yields to a rich assortment of ripe berry and stone fruits. A powerhouse of a wine with concentrated jammy flavors and perfectly balanced velvety tannins is at once exotically sexy and intense. Enjoy the 2010 HEROLD by Mark Herold over the next 20 plus years.
