Expressive without being the least bit heavy, the 2012 Le Petit Coquerel expresses classic notes of graphite, cassis, blueberries, cedar, and even a pleasant touch of gaminess. There is fantastic balance here, with terrific purity of fruit, plus tannins and acidity in equal measure. This is one of the more poised, delicate Napa Cab’s I’ve tasted, that also expresses finesse, depth and defined layers—a balance that is quite difficult to achieve. And for $39.00, Bravo! 14.0% ABV | Sample
