Abeja Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, USA

點擊次數：2472

The winery flagship is the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, a wine produced only in what Abeja considers the best vintages (with 2002 and 2005 being the most recent). The fruit was sourced from several vineyards and the wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 100% new oak. Deeply colored, it proffers an enticing nose of sandalwood, exotic spices, incense, truffle, mocha, black currant, and blackberry. In the glass it reveals dense, layered, succulent fruit, a suave personality, superb balance, and a 60-second finish. It has an excellent chance of seeing its 20th birthday in fine form.www.abeja.net/winery

Sourced from old-vine Bacchus and Weinbau fruit, this also includes 20% grapes from the estate’s Heather Hill vineyard. The aromas are dense and penetrating, with a powerful mix of black fruits, ripe berries, smoke, earth, olive and coffee. From the first sniff to the last swallow, the flavors are beautifully integrated and the effect symphonic.——P.G.(12/31/2010)—— 97
