拉霍塔酒莊品麗珠紅葡萄酒

The unfined and unfiltered 1996 Cabernet Franc reveals a smoky, meaty, beef blood and black fruit-scented nose with loamy soil scents providing additional aromatic dimension. The wine possesses exceptional richness of fruit, thrilling quantities of glycerin, an impressive mid-palate, and an admirably long finish. Fruit ripeness, texture, and richness are important in any wine, but La Jota manages to cram all of these components into the difficult to grow and make Cabernet Franc varietal. This effort is another benchmark wine that should drink well for 12-15+ years. I have been reporting for some time that no one makes better Cabernet Franc in North America than La Jota, and they continue to reveal an uncommon ability to capture the complex elements of this varietal, yet give it far more intensity and richness than their peers.
