And Titus delivers again! I must say, I was nervous to try the 2013 bc it had the same blend as his Chappellet Mountain Cuveé 2013, which showcased more Merlot than Cabernet Sauvignon; it ended up being one of my favorite bottled of wine in a long time. Andronicus was very similar! The nose had a light smokey vanilla lacing, followed by cedar, stewed cherries, strawberry, provancal herbs, clove, and cocoa powder. The juice had nice legs and a dark purple color. The pallet was luscious and had mouthwatering acidity, exhibiting notes of luxardo cherries, vanilla extract, raspberry cream, gravel dust like tannins, mineral, and a clean, structured finish. It was an absolute delight. The 2012 Was 67% Cabernet Sauvignon. This vintage barely has 11% trailing even Cabernet Franc, all backing up a majority of Merlot, ending with Petit Verdot and Zinfandel. What a great blender Phillip is, great job! Could use a case of this one!

Aromas of blueberry and blackberry make way for some vanilla and a touch of fresh raspberry. Big ripe fruit on the palate with great integrated oak from 18 months in barrel. Touch of chocolate and eucalyptus or lavender as it rests in the glass. Amazing value for $30.. I need a case of this.
