WTN: new nice Cal. Cabernet

by Jim Grow » Fri Nov 13, 2015 8:56 pm

I bought this 2009 Terra Valentine Spring Mt. District Cabernet several years ago and finally got around to opening it tonite. Very dark black in color with abundant perfume of sweet cherries and a touch of anise and herb, I could sniff this wine all night long. The flavors were the same as the nose and tannins were mostly resolved. This is the rare young wine my wife did not need to wisk to somewhat smooth out the tannins. Will buy more from this producer. ABV of %14.9
