St. Supéry Estate Vineyards
Dollarhide Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
This is first and foremost a delicious wine, full of ripe blackberry, black cherry, cassis and plum with secondary aromas and flavors of vanilla, cedar and clove. Dried violet and freshly-turned earth show it is developing beautifully in the bottle. The Tannins are plush and velvety and beautifully balance the fruit, the firm acidity and the 14.5% alcohol. This is a terrific bottle with great finesse and can certainly last a decade or more.
