Wellington Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon |
2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Handal-Denier Vineyard, Dry Creek Valley
The aroma has good intensity, dominated by ripe fruit (cherry, blueberry and cassis) with notes of spice and vanilla. On the palate this Cabernet achieves the elusive combination of power and finesse, the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove. A moderately sweet, supple entry and rich, but not heavy, middle lead to a long finish with soft tannins and lingering fruit aftertaste. We expect that this wine will continue to fill out, soften and gain finesse for several years to come. |
