associated with powdery tannins

Coming in at 16% alcohol (like the 2016)

with a bold frame of cocoa powder and roasted vanilla thats well-paired with a large core of warmed cassis

terrific overall balance

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Reserve is super-expressive today

2019 Peter Michael 'Le Caprice' Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, USA (750ml) Varietal_Grenache associated with powdery tanninsTASTING NOTES: Le Caprice comes from Fort Ross Seaview AVA, planted at 1,000 1,400 feet elevation to a suitcase clone (Pinot Fin) on a soil type of clay with basalt rocks. Pale to medium ruby purple in color, the barrel sample of the 2019 Pinot Noir le Caprice (due to be bottled within the next few days) explodes from the glass with a profound, complex perfume of kirsch, raspberry coulis, mulberries and candied violets, followed by hints of chocolate
