Purlieu
Teucer Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Coombsville, Napa Valley, California, USA
Part 1 of the final and main event for the Fall WNH. The most spectacular lineup of wines I’ve ever seen, and an overall wonderful ending to an amazing trip with fantastic people.
Undoubtedly Coombsville. Crunchy/underripe blackberries, cassis, licorice, herbal spice on the nose with a streak of black cherry on the mid palate. Dark. Finish has some liqueur like notes that are fresh squeezed fruit dominant. I enjoy Julien’s wines and was glad to finally try this label. Thanks for opening @Shawn R .

The nose reveals dark ruby, ripe, fruits of; blackberries, boysenberries, black plum, black raspberries & plum. Nicely layered and soft baking spices; vanilla, cinnamon, clove & nutmeg. Dark medium intensity spice, star anise, volcanic minerals, soft leather, underbrush, violets, lavender and very dark fresh floral bouquets.
The body is full. The tannins are round, tarry and sticky. Their wines drink so easily young. Dark ruby, ripe fruits of; blackberries, boysenberries, black plum, black raspberries, plum, nicely layered and soft baking spices; vanilla, cinnamon, clove & nutmeg. Dark medium intensity spice, anise, volcanic minerals, crushed dry rocks, some mint & dry herbs, soft leather, underbrush, violets, lavender and very dark fresh floral bouquets. The acidy round & beautiful. The long finish is ripe fruit with balanced earth, elegant, juicy and lasts minutes.
