Léal Vineyards
Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
San Benito County, Central Coast, California, USA
Smelled like a blueberry filled swimming pool complete with chlorine initially, but after an hour of splashing around, notes of mint, black currant, licorice and cedar emerged. Black currant continued through the palate, with a blueberry-grape bubblegum dip-n-stix flavor amidst a toasty oak and tobacco with cinnamon. Basically a hearty but smooth, round-tannin romp in the concrete pond! Put on your purple polka dot monokini, because this sultry little vixen is right out of a Russ Meyer's flick, and she can still beat you to death with her ample fruits! You know you want it!

From magnum. Showing age more than I’d expect. Very good but not outstanding. Then again I bought this at auction so don’t know how it was stored.
