點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：11361

The 2007 Lota is composed of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot aged for 15 months in 100% new French oak followed by 2-3 years of bottle aging prior to release. Purple in color, it offers up a superb aromatic array of pain grille, pencil lead, exotic spices, violets, incense, and assorted black fruits. This sets the stage for an elegantly styled, savory, ripe wine with enough structure to evolve for another 3-4 years. This beautifully proportioned blend will offer prime drinking from 2015 to 2027 if not longer. Importer: Winebow, Inc., New York, NY; www.winebow.com

8 Complex and classy Cabernet Sauvignon (with 15% Merlot) that sets a new high point for Lota. Sous-bois, cigar box, fine leather and dry cassis and cherry aromas precede a layered, smooth palate with sweet, toasted berry, currant, mocha and vanilla flavors. Finishes with obvious but restrained oak and spice. Drink now through 2014. ——M.S.(12/31/2011)—— 92
