Merryvale 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon
Out of stock
Description
93 Points, Wine Enthusiast: Another great success from Merryvale. Somehow they manage to make red wines that are ripe, oaky and opulent, yet maintain balance so that you can drink it over the course of a meal without the flavors palling. Dry and tannicly sophisticated, it shows complex waves of blackberries, cassis, cherries and sweet, smoky cedar. – S.H. (11/1/2011)
92 Points, Wine Spectator: Perfumed floral, ripe blackberry and wild berry flavors are firm and structured, deep and persistent, more intriguing as they evolve on the palate. Ends with layers of dark berry fruit. Drink now through 2020. – J.L. (11/15/2011)
Robert Parker: The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa (80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot and the rest Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc) shares a similar dark ruby/purple color (not as opaque as the St. Helena), a more muted nose revealing notions of graphite and red and black currants, and a leaner, shorter finish. Consume it over the next 4-8 years. – R.P. (12/2010)
