2002 Audelssa Estate Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Mountain Terraces - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Valley (2/18/2012)
Been a very long time since I’ve had one of these and frankly didn’t realize I had not one, but two left. I remember tasting this wine with Erich and Gloria way back in 04 I think (along with a barrel sample of his Pinot Noir but I digress) and remember it being richly fruit, plush Cabernet. It’s definitely shed some of that “baby fat” and was starting to really show some nice secondary characteristics - nice cassis fruit, a little tobacco and olive with a little wood spice and cocoa. Nice medium weight on the palate, with fine ripe tannins and medium length finish. Very nicely done.
Paired with a flank steak with arugula and roasted meyer lemon. (92 pts.)
