Stevens XY Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Yakima Valley, USA

史蒂文斯XY珍藏赤霞珠干紅葡萄酒

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：4649

Complex and powerful, delivering a lot of flavor on a sleek, racy frame. The red berry, black currant and cherry fruit picks up whiffs of violet and wet stone as it zips across refined tannins to a long finish. Best from 2012 through 2020. 304 cases made. -HS

Top lots from Sheridan, Dineen and Meek vineyard grapes go into this reserve. This is always the most thick and dense of the Stevens wines, and the tannins, though very well managed, are chewy and substantial. They dominate this young wine, but the stacked and subtle layers of red and black fruits, leaf and forest floor materials, moist earth and ashes keep the flavors complex and interesting. This wine absolutely must be decanted, and can be cellared almost indefinitely.——P.G.(12/1/2010)—— 94
