Sutcliffe Vineyards
Down Canyon Blend Cabernet-Shiraz Blend
McElmo Canyon, Colorado, USA
Cellared since release. I’m more convinced than ever that these wines were made to drink after many years in the cellar; so little in the way of evolution. At ten years, this is still really fresh on the pop and pour. Dark and red fruits dominate with baking spices...still very primary...though the tannins have softened a bit. Really quaffable. Wish I had another bottle to hold until secondary characteristics would begin to show themselves. At this point, it’s really hard to tell when that might happen. Awesome wine from Colorado.
